I've been learning Chinese for a few years now, and have used other materials, such as HelloChinese and Yoyochinese. I find SuperChinese to be the most engaging and useful Chinese language learning app. The premium version is well worth the money. The vocabulary is continuously reinforced and the stories are animated and engaging. Best app out there for learning Chinese!
Excellent app, I've been using it for almost a year, and there's a huge variety of different modalities to learn through -- I haven't even been able to take advantage of them all yet. It's also extremely rare to encounter any kind of bug or typo, and I can see they are consistently adding and updating content. Well worth the subscription, the developers clearly put a ton of effort into the overall experience and the AI that gives you feedback on your speech down to each syllable and tone.
Update -1 star. The beep sound after the user enters an audio recording is too loud. Can't use the app with other people close by or in quiet environments. Really annoys people to the point where they ask you to leave the room. Initial review. So far I'm really enjoying learning Chinese with this app. It's not easy, it really challenges you. Update:
I just started but it's teaching me in the style that I learn. I can see AND hear the words and there's a picture. Learning how to pronounce the words correctly is also a great feature and getting graded on my pronunciation helps me move forward without as much frustration. I will come back after a while and revise my review if I see any snags.
This has become my "go to" for learning Chinese. Each lesson builds on the next. And I also appreciate that each lesson is taught in such a way that you're learning vocabulary and grammar, and not just random keywords and phrases without understanding the language itself. So, it teaches you in a methodical manner vs a memorization of keywords. I'm very pleased with my purchase and will continue to use this going forward until I am fluent. đź‘Ť
A lot of free content but... I feel like it wasn't well put-together. Here's an example: it asks me who's taller, but it doesn't say who's who in the picture. So I'm left guessing and likely will have a false answer. While this doesn't happen all the time, it happens frequently. Plus there's no way to review grammar or vocab like with Hello Chinese unless I log in and create an account. What if I don't want to log in?
There have been a lot of updates to the app recently that are really well done. However there are still some faults. One time I got penalized for having a grammar question wrong on a structure they hadn't taught yet. Sometimes when I get things wrong it is not because of the thing they said was wrong. I would like more translations into English so that one can see what the meaning is supposed to be. And more.
Baically, for beginners. There is some useful stuff in the app, but even the highest levels won't get you above upper elementary/lower intermediate levels. They also need more lessons (under development, they say. Hurry, guys, I've finished 7-8). Some of their English translations are atrocious, but overall, it's a good app, especially for lower level students.
Very effective and fun to use! I've tried a lot of apps over the many years I have been learning and this one has been the most useful and the easiest for me to be consistent. I really like the dialogues that teach me about the culture, work environment,and current events, as well as improving my language skills. Though I am now moderately fluent, my Chinese friends noticed improvement in my pronunciation. My 80 year old mother is now using the app to start learning!! Highly recommend it.
This is a wonderful app. I love how there is an option to gather coins through doing the lessons and spend them to get the premium feature if you are not able to buy it. I like how it gives pictures, stories, and lots of examples. Vocab is repeatedly shown and reinforced. The voice recognition is also quite exceptional. My only suggestion is that maybe the app could add more training for writing the characters. Other than that, I can't wait until they come out with the next levels!
