Nice App – Learn Chinese 10,000 Mandarin Chinese Free - Indispensable Chinese phrasebook Review

There are actually 7,332 sentences, with a lot of repeats, either word for word or with slight variations... so in terms of unique content, the app actually has 5-6,000 sentences. They’re all spoken by a native Chinese speaker (not a tts bot) at close to conversation speed, so you get to hear “real Chinese”. I’ve been through the whole list once. What I like to do now is to pick out a section and put it on auto-pilot, letting it read through the list by itself. It’s easy to pause and repeat a particular sentence as many times as you like. There’s a fair amount of colloquial speech, which you don’t typically find in text books. One of my favorite sections is a list of 106 food dishes commonly found in restaurants in China. All in all, a very useful app.
