Learn Chinese Online Hub: everyday Mandarin, one short lesson a day
Pinyin and tone guides, characters with stroke order, 1,971 words and daily lessons for speaking everyday Mandarin.
Learn Chinese Online Hub teaches everyday Mandarin one short lesson a day. It starts with the two things that trip up most beginners, pinyin and tones, and builds from there.
Pinyin and tones first
Pinyin is the way Mandarin is written in the Latin alphabet, and it is how you learn to say words before you can read characters. Mandarin also has four tones, and the same syllable can mean different things depending on the tone. The free guides cover both.
