Most Mandarin apps teach mainland-standard Chinese with a Taiwan-flavored afterthought. CiaoSpeak is built the other way around: Traditional characters, zhuyin, and Taiwan-standard vocabulary and accent from lesson one. A proactive AI teacher drives every conversation instead of leaving you staring at a blank chat box, and Hunches — a guess-first learning mechanic grounded in real memory research (the pretesting effect, hypercorrection) — make new words stick. Join the waitlist.
Hey Product Hunt — I built CiaoSpeak because every Mandarin app I tried taught me to sound like I was from Beijing when I actually wanted to talk to people in Taipei. Traditional characters, zhuyin, the actual accent and vocabulary people use day to day — it's a genuinely different learning experience than "generic Mandarin," and almost nothing teaches it properly. Would love to hear from anyone who's hit the same mainland-vs-Taiwan wall — what's been hardest for you?
