Games that make you speak and write Chinese, every one of them scored, many of them listening to your actual voice.
The group that delivers on the promise to "make you talk." The scorer judges your sounds and your tones separately, colors each word by its score, and catches you even when the sound is right but the tone is off.
Look and speak: narrate a 6-panel comic, describe a crowded scene, or pitch from a brochure, and the AI scores you on the details you were meant to mention.
The same drill, but aimed at words whose tones trip people up; the score leans hard on tone, so a right sound with the wrong tone still fails.
Read the whole passage aloud, get scored on three axes (Pronunciation · Fluency · Completeness), then re-drill exactly 10 words targeting the sounds you actually miss.
Shadowing in the truest sense: the text is hidden, you hear the model and say it back from sound memory. Miss it and the sentence appears, each word colored by its score.
Two-line movie scenes (romance, office, wuxia): hear your co-star, then dub your line with the right emotion, and play your take back against the model.
You pronounce a single syllable, the machine calls the tone right or wrong, draws the pitch curve visually, and offers three escalating levels of help when you miss.
Drill one word at a time: hear the model, say it back, get scored instantly, with "Sound" and "Tone" split apart so you know exactly where you slipped.
Listen to a passage with no subtitles, answer 2–3 questions out loud, and the AI scores your meaning without demanding every exact word.
Listen to a short story (text hidden), then retell it in your own words while the AI checks that you covered all the key points.
No pre-written script: you speak, the AI understands and replies in a real voice, one turn at a time. Only when the conversation ends do you get a single verdict, nobody picks at every small grammar slip along the way.
The boss fight that closes a lesson: the conversation revolves around the exact words you just learned, and each word-chip lights up green ✓ on screen the moment you say it.
A multi-turn spoken conversation set in a scenario: stay on topic, keep the back-and-forth going, and getting your meaning across is enough to pass.
Pick a side of the motion, the AI takes the other, and you spar in Chinese, having to give at least three solid reasons.
The AI opens the story, the two of you take turns continuing it aloud, and where it goes is up to you.
A texting-style chat thread: the AI texts in Chinese, you type back freely, and every message you send is both scored and pushes the story forward.
From 3-second reflexes to full news bulletins. Two-person dialogues use two distinct voices, so you have to track who's speaking, not just catch the words.
Hear one of two nearly identical words (the tone trap 买/卖, retroflex sounds), with both options fully spelled out, so only your ear decides.
The audio plays exactly once, no replay button, a countdown ticking while you pick the meaning. Pure reflex training.
One word in the sentence is replaced by a "beep"; use the context on either side and pick the missing word.
Hear phone numbers, appointment times, and prices, and tap the right figure. A survival skill at the market, with the classic 四 (4) vs 十 (10) trap.
Listen to a two-person dialogue, each character with their own voice, then work out who said the quoted line.
Listen to a passage and pick the sentence that captures the meaning; all options are in Chinese, and the meaning shows only after you choose.
Listen to a Chinese news bulletin, answer 3–4 questions, and only then unlock the tap-any-word transcript and the translation.
Hear a syllable and pick the correctly marked version from four tiles, same syllable, four different tones.
Hear a sentence (with a slow-play button) and type it back; the machine compares character by character, so one wrong out of nine still earns 8/9, nothing lost outright.
Recognizing 汉字, radicals, pinyin and reading comprehension, through multiple choice, card swipes, memory flips, and tile matching. You can retry until you finish, but only "right the first time" earns full marks.
Cards pair a Chinese sentence with a translation, swipe right if it's correct, left if not; the card tilts under your finger as you keep the combo alive 🔥.
Flip two cards to find each 汉字 ↔ meaning pair; a match locks green, reveals the pinyin, and reads it aloud. Only your time decides the score.
Read the English prompt, build the Chinese sentence from tiles with a few distractors mixed in, and hear the whole sentence once it's assembled.
Read the passage silently (no audio) and answer multiple choice; the question hides the passage but lets you open it back up.
Arrange the shuffled sentences into a coherent story; hit check to see which positions are wrong, then fix them.
Two shuffled columns of first-halves and second-halves: tap to pair them, and a correct match locks green and reads the whole sentence aloud.
The 汉字 shows up large, you tap the right meaning, a pure character-recognition round with no audio to help.
See the pinyin and meaning, tap the right 汉字, with options that are easy to confuse at a glance (安静 / 干净 / 冷静).
Read a sentence with a ＿＿ blank and tap the word that fits, choosing from the options given.
The group that delivers on the promise to "make you write": you type 汉字 with your device's real pinyin keyboard, the very method Chinese speakers use every day. Two free-writing games have the AI score your own sentences.
Translate an English sentence into Chinese, word it differently from the model but keep the meaning, and the AI still accepts it: "Your translation works too!"
Write a complete sentence of your own using all the required words; each word-chip lights up green ✓ the moment you type it, and the AI scores and lightly corrects your own sentence.
Look at a photo and write a one-line caption using all the required words, the "short-form" version of free-form sentence writing.
Hear the whole sentence and type all of it back, the hard version of Dictation: scored on an exact match of the entire sentence.
See the pinyin and type the right 汉字 using your system's pinyin keyboard.
A sentence with a blank, but this time no options given, you type the missing word yourself.
Hear a syllable and build its pinyin from three parts: Initial · Final · Tone, with the tone mark landing on the correct vowel in real time.
Games only unlock after you've properly learned the new words. An 8-beat lesson led by an AI tutor, and clearing the gate at the end opens up the entire library of games above.
Word cards show an illustration and a tone curve drawn to the pitch of each syllable, and you try every word through the mic (unscored). You hear each dialogue "blind" twice, and only on the third pass does the text appear. The lesson ends with a voice chat with the AI tutor using the words you just learned, plus a "before class lets out, ask anything" corner. Clear the gate at 80% or higher to unlock the games; miss a word and you relearn exactly that word for 30 seconds, with no lose screen.
Plus two side modes: Meet the new words (a lighter take: batches of 10 word cards followed by a quick check) and Knowledge cards (swipe-to-read explainer cards, the only mode with no scoring).
Each game's playable demo will roll out over time.
