I first downloaded this 10 years ago and went back to it today after I became frustrated with duolingo. It's changed alot, obviously "borrowing" UI and methods from duolingo, which are the good parts. However, Hello Chinese is way more effective at teaching the language. It takes time to explain the foundation of what you are learning, lessons are more cohesive, native speakers are used to teach pronunciation. It is better in almost every way, even for the free version. I will likely upgrade

Welcome back to the HelloChinese community! We’ve made many changes over the years. We’ve done extensive research to make our courses more effective, while always staying true to our own teaching style. We’re also so glad you enjoy the videos featuring hundreds of native speakers we’ve carefully selected and worked with.

Allows disabling writing exercises, which is fantastic. The content is solid, and the review feature is great. If you have used the free version for a while, Premium is not really worth it though. The premium games' level is not tied to your progress, so you're really just paying $7 to re-learn "cat" and "mother" over and over with no option to skip ahead, and there's a daily level cap to keep you from grinding it, so you don't really learn much.

You will level up and gradually get all words practiced. If you want to set a higher starting point, then just drop us an email at support@hellochinese.cc and our developers will set it for you manually.

(2022) Pretty good and as a beginner it is easy to use. (2024) Now that I have been on the app for a while, I found that once you get to a certain point, it does in fact make you pay to continue on through the lesson. It does provide some free additional learning materials like stories, reading, writing, and listening exercises but when getting into about the third module
