Chinese Pronunciation
Learn Mandarin & Cantonese
Free · In-App Purchases
Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin and Cantonese read by native voices — pinyin, Jyutping and a note in your language under every sentence. Start free.
One language on paper. Three on the street — Beijing, Taipei, Hong Kong.
Your evening class taught you Beijing. Then a Hong Kong film came on, and not a word landed. That is not a gap in your effort. It is a gap in what you were given to hear.
Here you hear all three, one sentence at a time: haggling at a night market, turning down a drink politely, explaining to a taxi app where you actually are. Under each line, its pinyin or Jyutping — and one short note on the thing the textbook left out.
Listen. Say it back. Let the score be honest with you.
