ChinesePath helps learners study Mandarin systematically, starting with pronunciation, tones and pinyin, then building grammar, vocabulary and daily conversation step by step.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm the founder of ChinesePath.
Most people learn Chinese the hard way: they memorize words in apps, then find out months later that nobody understands them. The tones are off, and the sentences are word-by-word translations from their own language.
I think there's a better order:
1. Sounds first. Chinese is a tonal language. If you get initials, finals and the four tones wrong at the start, every word you learn after that inherits the mistake. ChinesePath starts with a phonetics track. You listen to recorded models, record yourself, and get feedback on your pronunciation right away.
2. Then grammar, taught as a system. Chinese grammar isn't hard, but it's different: word order, measure words, 了, 把 sentences, complements. A grammar track walks through these step by step, with example sentences you can play, read in pinyin and understand in your own language.
3. Review what you got wrong. Mistakes you make in exercises come back on a spaced schedule (1 / 3 / 7 / 21 days) until you truly get them right.
Also included:
- A dictionary with 50,000+ entries, with levels, example sentences and audio
- Interface in 9 languages (English, 한국어, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, Bahasa Indonesia, 日本語, Español, Русский, 中文)
- One-time purchase, no subscription
I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone who has struggled with tones. What made Chinese pronunciation click for you?
