Store description excerpt

Chinese Pinyin is a pronunciation-first Mandarin app. Hear the sounds, watch how a native speaker makes them, and train your ear until the four tones stop blurring together. Version 3.0 is a complete rebuild around the two things that actually change how you sound: listening and articulation. TONES — a pinyin radio for your ears • 120 episodes of blending chains, recorded by a native speaker: initial to final to syllable to a real word (b - a - ba - baba) • Basics: one syllable, four tones back to back, so the contrast is impossible to miss • Mixed: a new syllable every chain, once your ear is ready to generalize • Zero effort to use — pick an episode, press play, lock your screen, keep listening • Every recording ships inside the app. No streaming, no data, works on a plane • Pick up exactly where you stopped, on any episode CHART — see how the sound is made • The full pinyin system: 23 initials, 24 finals, 16 whole syllables, plus syllable tables from A to Z • Native-speaker mouth-shape videos, front view and side view at the same time — tap to swap which one is large • Play at 0.5x to catch the tongue and lip position, or 2x to drill • Videos are delivered by Google Play and play from your device, not streamed HOME • Sound of the day: one sound, all four tones, playing the second you open the app • One tap back to the episode you were listening to • Shuffle for a different sound whenever you want one WHO IT IS FOR • Beginners who want a pronunciation foundation that holds up later • Self-learners who need a reliable pinyin reference on hand • Anyone whose tones are "close enough" and who wants them actually right • Heritage learners and parents looking for passive listening their kids can absorb WHY IT WORKS Perception comes before production. Research on high-variability phonetic training shows that learners who train listening alone improve how they pronounce — a contrast your ear cannot hear is a contrast your mouth cannot make. Tones builds the contrast; Chart shows you the articulation behind it. Nothing here scores you or interrupts you, because relaxed input is what you can do every day. FREE AND PREMIUM • Free: the complete initials — the initials chart with mouth-shape videos, and all 23 initial episodes in Tones. A finished chapter, not a teaser that stops mid-lesson. • Premium unlocks everything else: compound finals, nasal finals, whole syllables, the full Mixed pack, and every syllable table in Chart. • Choose a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime unlock. • Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Manage or cancel anytime under Subscriptions in the Google Play app. • No ads. Ever. EXISTING CUSTOMERS If you bought the previous paid version, your purchase carries over.
