Beginner learners can start from ni hao (你好) and progress through our beginner courses, designed specifically for HSK 1 learners. Begin with pinyin and transition to traditional or simplified characters when you're ready.

Intermediate learners (HSK 3 and above) can delve into more complex stories and apply Mandarin grammar in context. Choose to hide pinyin or display it only for difficult words above your current level.

Advanced learners (HSK 5 and above) will enjoy our short stories adapted from Chinese folktales, as well as collections on the Tang Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and more! Our app also covers diverse topics such as daily life in China, humorous stories, business Mandarin, the latest trends in China, and Chinese history.

With Du Chinese, finding appropriate reading material is easy. Our app provides tools for mastering reading, listening, speaking, and writing in Mandarin Chinese. Whether you're interested in beginner courses about life in China, advanced stories about Chinese history, or snippets of daily conversations, you can find content suitable for HSK levels 1-6. If you encounter unfamiliar words, you can check their definitions using our integrated Chinese dictionary or switch to Pleco for more extensive explanations.

Save time with the Du Chinese app – with just a tap, you can access pinyin, translations, professional audio recordings, and definitions. Our seamless integration with other apps allows you to look up definitions from Pleco or LINE and save words to flashcard lists in Skritter or Hack Chinese.

Mastering tones is often a challenging aspect of learning Mandarin. With Du Chinese, we offer professional recordings by native speakers for every lesson. You'll be able to improve your pronunciation and ensure that when you say "hello" in Chinese (你好), people will understand you.

As you read, you'll effortlessly expand your vocabulary by encountering new and useful words within the texts. Save these new words and practice them later to further enhance your vocabulary. Our interactive flashcards make it simple to memorize and review Chinese words, or seamlessly sync them with Skritter or Hack Chinese.
