Days 1 to 7 free · to day 30 with a free account · Pro from day 31
Everyday Mandarin in 90 days.
One short lesson a day, from your first greeting to holding a slow conversation. Every day covers phrases you would actually say, explains why the Chinese works the way it does, and ends with a quiz. Pinyin sits under every line, and you can switch it off whenever you like.
A day is marked done when you pass its quiz at the end: get 5 of its 8 questions right.
