Learn More About MandarinCourse
Direct answers about our features, offline compatibility, and pronunciation grading.
How does the AI Speaking Tutor grade my pronunciation?
MandarinCourse uses browser-native Speech Recognition to listen to your utterance and compares it to the target sentence using a text-similarity scoring algorithm. In Live Mode, it connects to Gemini to evaluate natural conversation flow.
Can I use MandarinCourse offline without internet?
Yes! MandarinCourse is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that caches all scripts, assets, writing animations, and logic locally. The tone visualizer, character writing quizzes, and SRS flashcards run 100% offline client-side. Features that require internet: Live AI Tutor Mode, Document AI upload, and Grammar Check.
How does the Tone Pitch Visualizer help with Chinese tones?
The tone visualizer captures your voice's pitch curve using Web Audio autocorrelation. It graphs your spoken pitch curve on a canvas alongside reference guides for the four tones (Flat, Rising, Dipping, Falling), giving you instant visual feedback.
What is the Spaced Repetition System (SRS) used for?
The flashcard review deck uses a Spaced Repetition engine. By grading cards as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, the algorithm schedules reviews. You can toggle the 'Due Reviews Only' box to study efficiently.
Is MandarinCourse free?
Sign up with email for 7 days free access to all HSK 1-9 features. After the trial, Premium is $9/month for unlimited access. Cancel anytime.
What HSK levels does MandarinCourse cover?
MandarinCourse covers HSK 1 through HSK 9 (the new HSK 3.0 standard). This includes over 10,000 vocabulary words with pinyin, audio, and example sentences.
Is this better than Duolingo or HelloChinese?
MandarinCourse focuses on real speaking practice with AI-powered pronunciation grading, a tone pitch visualizer, and SRS flashcards. Unlike gamified apps, you actively speak and get scored. It also covers all 9 HSK levels with offline PWA support.
Can I cancel my Premium subscription anytime?
Yes, you can cancel your Premium subscription at any time. No long-term commitment required. After canceling, you keep access until the end of your current billing period.
