Dedicate some times to use the app everyday
In Chinese, we say 三天打魚，兩天曬網 / 三天打鱼，两天晒网 (sān tiān dǎ yú liǎng tiān shài wǎng). Literally, this translates to “three days fishing for fish, two days letting the nets dry in the sun.” However it means to master something you need to stay on course! and do a little bit each and every day.

Start with Cards or Explore if you’re new to the Chinese language and culture
Navigate yourself to the Cards, don’t be overwhelmed with hundreds of levels. Instead, you’ll start with 人 (person) and 大 (big, imagining a person stretching his arms to be big).
While learning each Card, it’s important and useful to select the favorite Cards (there’s a little heart ❤️ on the top right corner!) you feel either interesting or challenging so you’re able to see them all together when reviewing.
Prefer learning by watching videos, reading blog posts or listening to the podcast? You’ll find them all in Explore. More cultural elements are introduced here. For example, the story behind the mid-autumn festival, the second-most important holiday after the Chinese New Year and how Chinese celebrate, the concept of feng shui (風水) and even the evolution of the Chinese language. You can find a variety of interesting content.
-
Utilize Speak feature better to access vocabulary, patterns and even grammar
Initially when you first tap the Speak tab, you’ll find a gumball machine in the middle. Yes, just tap the gumball machine, you’ll get access to the content. Each ball in Speak usually contains a grammatical pattern and four vocabulary words. Same as the Cards, each ball will have various quiz types which we guarantee won’t bog you down.
Once you advance to 20+ levels in Speak, you will be able to put your speaking skills into practice by taking part in practical (or even hilarious!) mini dialogues at the end of each level.
Here at Chineasy, we don’t try to teach you everything about the Chinese language. Instead, we strive to provide you with the best Chinese learning experience that is both functional and engaging. You’ll be surprised how much more enjoyable your learning will be with our interesting content as well as the pleasant visual design.
