@cn__katie hi, Katie! Thanks for great question. We make a tool for learning Mandarin words and characters. So we are really different from HelloChinese, ChineseSkill and Duolingua. Before started Laoshi, I tried Skritter (was ok before I decided to make my own vocabulary list and some customisation), Trainchinese (it's a dictionary with advanced tools), Anki and Quizlet. All of them are great apps, but not ideal for Mandarin words. We try to build one now =)

Is this app based on the new HSK levels or the old ones? I'm a Chinese student and have used many apps to study, I will definitely give this one a try. 💪 祝贺你 !

@copybycarmen hi, Carmen! Thanks for your question. Currently we use old HSK, because the new one is not officially launched yet. But we are ready for it.

@serglao Great! Unfortunately not many companies and apps are ready for the new HSK yet, this will definitely differentiate you even more from your competitors.

Hey Product Hunt community! I’m super excited to share a useful app that our team has been working on over the last year. We created Laoshi. Laoshi is a tool to help people study Mandarin Chinese words and characters. You can expect: * Choose and study vocabulary lists that will always be at your fingertips. Our pre-made sets have been compiled from all of the most popular Chinese language learning textbooks and resources. Share vocabulary lists with your community. * Create your own vocabulary lists and add as many words as you’d like. With just three clicks, it’s much quicker and easier than having to manually write out paper flashcards. * Practice drawing Chinese characters directly onto your iPhone at your convenience! Leave the pen and paper at home! * Use the spaced repetition method so you’ll remember new vocabulary forever. Don’t you love it when your teacher reviews old vocabulary after learning some new concepts? Laoshi tracks your progress, and allows you to review old flashcards at the perfect time to solidify your progress. * Track your progress and improve your results. Interested in knowing how many new words you’ve learned? Laoshi’s got you covered. In the free version: - Unlimited flashcards - Add your own words - Listen to the pronunciation for each word - See the statistics of all your results, each and every day! More in premium version: - Draw Chinese characters directly in the app - Master Chinese intonation in our specialized lessons - Check context with usage examples while learning to memorize words better, faster, forever.

Demand for an easy way to learn Mandarin is sure massive, but according to Google Trends it doesn't grow. Do you feel like the landscape is changing as PRC grows in influence?

@niketas thanks for your question. Laoshi now is not about easy way to learn Mandarin. It is a tool for learning Mandarin words and characters. We target people who study Mandarin in schools and universities, try to supplement their studies, not to compete. But according to this article, Mandarin Chinese is one of the fastest growing in terms of CAGR: https://www.businesswire.com/new...

How does Laoshi compare to Skritter? Feature list looks very similar, even though the pricing of Laoshi seems more affordable

@queen_dhl thank you for great question! There are few features, that are different just now: - in Laoshi users can make own vocabulary lists and add any words into any ready-to-use lists (the main difference) - we have free mode in Laoshi - it is better than functionality in Quizlet, for example. We will be really happy if users will use free mode, too And we have some features in backlog, that will outperform Skritter in 2-3 months.
