Learn a little. Put it to use.

Your daily practice

Make the words
your own.

01

Read in context.

Meet new words inside sentences. See the Chinese, check the pronunciation, and understand how the words fit together.

A sentence, not just a word list.

02

Bring it to mind.

Practise from Chinese to English and back again. Review words over time, with another chance at the ones you miss.

A little recall goes a long way.

03

Get used to the sound.

Listen to the sentences you’re learning. Follow along with the text and replay a sentence when you want to hear it again.

Familiar words. Another way to practise.
