So here's my honest take on Du Chinese - Read Mandarin 读中文. I've tried a bunch of language learning apps and this one's pretty solid. The reading and listening practice is super helpful, and I like that it adjusts the difficulty based on your level. The dictionary and flashcards are useful too. Only downside is the ads can get old after a while, but you can pay to remove them. Overall, if you're learning Mandarin, this is a great way to get consistent practice.

Description

Been using Du Chinese – Read Mandarin 读中文 for a couple months now. It’s basically a language learning app that helps you practice reading and listening to Mandarin. Pretty solid app if you’re into improving your Chinese skills.

Here’s what you do: You can read all sorts of articles and stories in Chinese, from beginner to advanced level. There’s also audio you can listen to, and a built-in dictionary for looking up words. And it’s got flashcards too which is useful for memorizing new vocab. Took me a while to figure out all the features but they’re pretty helpful.

Look, if you’re learning Mandarin, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you wanna improve your Chinese reading and listening.
