I’m taking another stab at learning Chinese. I’m probably HSK 2. I’m in need of some apps to motivate me. I’m keen to push my vocabulary and knowledge of phrases beyond where they are.
It seems like HelloChinese and Superchinese are pretty good.
Can anyone comment on apps they like?
I do know that nothing takes the place of lessons with native speakers using CI and reading but I’d like to grab some apps for Black Friday while they are on sale.
Native speakers and ability to teach with CI meaningfully are mutually exclusive, just a forever reminder for everyone learning all languages…
I recommend a good reader app like Chairman’s Bao. If you’re into the exploration of character components (which is fun but isn’t going to do much for your spoken fluency…) the Outlier dictionary for Pleco is excellent.
You can do your own CI with any text + audio that you almost completely understand.
