Top 10 Free Apps and Websites for Learning Chinese!

- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Today we're reviewing the best FREE apps for learning Chinese (mostly Mandarin, though you could use a few of these for other varieties of Chinese). They're all amazing and all things I've personally used extensively -- I've had to leave out some things like Memrise that I've heard amazing things about, only because I haven't used them enough to feel confident in recommending them. And no endorsements either!
Note also that even if you're not learning Chinese, you CAN use several of these apps and websites (including the #1 pick) for learning other languages, and my choices also might be interesting in terms of expressing how I've studied Chinese.
Thanks for visiting Ari in Beijing! I've honed my Mandarin Chinese to near native-level fluency through a variety of tips and tricks that I share with you each week. So whether you're studying Mandarin, Cantonese, English, another language, or are simply interested in language in general, please subscribe and stick around for a while!

as a chinese watching this, it’s amazing to see how hard ppl are trying to learn mandarin:)
zhu gabyy so you live in China
Im doing it cause chinese was the only language option in my school and if i get a bad grade i dont want an ass whooping
watashi ga kita 😂😂
if ill be honest w u im not interested at all in learning chinese and its harder to learn if i feel that way. But i do agree with you it will indeed be beneficial for the future so i guess just gotta roll with it and try survive somehow.
zhu gabyy today is my first day ☺️☺️
We may be a bit bias but we think HelloChinese is a great way to learn Mandarin ;)
HelloChinese Love you guys hahaha
I’d say it’s one of the best ways to gain Chinese knowledge. Add some speaking to Chinese people to that, and you’re fluent. Lol.
Yes ,Hello chinese the best
HelloChinese I love your app
i agree :)
Thanks Ariin! As an intermediate speaker. I’ve been trying so hard to find best options to boost up my Chinese. Agree with most that HelloChinese is good for beginners. But the tips above opens me to more online based learning. Cheers bro !
Wow!! Such a brilliant list! I can't thank you enough for these.
I speak different languages, but in January I started to learn Japanese. My learning was pretty slow... however when I started using your tips my Japanese became better!! Now I'm improving every single day. Thanks for your videos man.
This is, BY FAR the greatest most helpful video for learning Chinese ever made. EVER
The best tip for me was the Chinese phrases deck for Anki. I love it so much. Wish to have seen this video sooner.
Lingodeer! Free, and it includes Korean, Japanese and now Vietnamese as well as Chinese.
I'm using Lingodeer! Im quite enjoying it
Sadly not free anymore!
Chantal Said i’m studying korean on there. it’s okay, but i keep getting ads when i start new lessons that won’t go away. so basically i can’t use it anymore. i tried searching up how to get rid of them but there’s no way unless paying for whatever they’re advertising. sucks
Very useful video - thanks much!
I've been starting my journey with Hello Chinese and have been very happy with it's style & progression for an absolute beginner.
Now I'm moving on to Chinese Skill as it has many more free features allowing for further learning beyond (what I feel) Hello Chinese can offer.
Soon I'll be adding many of your suggestions to my tool belt. Thanks again!
This is a really great resource! Thanks so much for putting it together.
Wonderful tips! Thank you so much for this video :)
I find your video great, thanks a lot Ari. I started using Hello Chinese and it works fine with me to discover the basics.
This is an awesome review. Thank you so much for your work.
Perapera comes from Japanese. It means you can speak the language fluently. e.g. “英語ペラペラだね” -> “Your English is perapera!” -> “You speak English really well.”
Man , you are the best thanks for all of that
I just started this week , I know all of this will be really helpful
I hope that a year from now I can have at least an intermediate level
Thanks! Very useful, much appreciated.
Really helpful video! Thanks for sharing.
I can't thank you enough for this.
God bless you and your channel man
Thanks man that’s very helpful ,didn’t know about all this
So amazing and useful chanel, and I am lucky to have stumbled upon it.
Thank you for this video!
Amazing compilation. Very helpful. Thank you
I am a Russian learner, but I love Clozemaster! Because I can hear the sentence before I see it and then type in the answer based on hearing and knowing.
This video is great! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! I can now read the New York Times in Mandarin with Perapera! Excellent!
Two years after you posted this all are still live and useful. Thanks man. Also, hope you are hanging in there and staying safe. I'm sure it broke your heart to see the racism that's resulted, but maybe we will come together as a globe in the end.
really good resource tips. many thanks!!!!
I searched this video after my MAC was stolen just so I could find these extensions and use your advice like I did 2 years ago! Thanks man
Paul Craddock seriously man? Your mac was stolen ??!? Pro or Air ?
@@JjGabrielPianist Pro! Left my bag outside whilst taking out the trash , in a split second GONE. but it served me well and now ive moved on. :')
Thank you so much for taking your time to help us out :) I've been learning Japanese for a while now and because of your advices it has really improved a lot. Do you know any youtubers who have the same content as you but for Japanese instead of Mandarin? :)
Mery Hawkeye Search up learn Japanese and a whole bunch of things will come up!!! Like so many things will come up!!
This is sooo helpful, thanks!
By far the best video I’ve seen on RUclips, thanks so much!
this is a gold mine! thank you!
Just popping in to tell you this is SO freaking helpful - I've been studying off and on since 2009 - but I'm rusty af. Pleco, iTalki, and CCTV I've heard of but the rest I was totally clueless XD.
Wow that last one with Anki Chinese you showed that is a premade word deck that adds a word progressively is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you! How long have you been learning Chinese?
these things are super useful thanks man
thank you so much for this, really helped :)
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
Hey ,bro ,I am a mandarin native speaker and im a sophomore .We could help each other ,my Wechat: Bear651319
Just found this. Very cool. Thanks for finding these.
Hi Ari,
First of all, a huge thank you, you've helped me so much I can't really express how much excited I am right now. Again, thank you so much : D
Now, here is my question: "I'm trying to learn Mandarin at the moment, but I'm still not able to read/understand anything. Since I just downloaded ximalaya and I'm planning to listen some podcasts, how can I be sure not to waste my time on Cantonese or any other variety of Chinese (especially since many Chinese dialects happen to be a completely separate language)??? "
Again, a HUGE thank you
Bye
You have totally put me on to iqiyi OMG... I'm in heaven! Thank You!
Never wanted to try flashcards, yeah I'm old school and I like more a systematic explanation but I did try Anki with the spoon fed deck and wow, it just works. I can even recognize many pictograms now. Thanks for convincing me to try this. Cheers and be safe!
I just downloaded it. Excited to try it.
Looked for that deck and couldn't find it. Might have been taken down.
dude. ive been looking for an extension like that for chrome. I'm just crying, its not the first time You helped me 7.7 god bless your soul.
Amazing, thank you very much!
I tried Anki but found the Pleco flashcard system more useful. I know Anki's SBS works better, but what you can do with Pleco is much more useful. When I come across a word I don't immediately recognize, I open up the word in the dictionary and add anywhere from three to six phrases that use that word into the flashcard folder I'm working on. So I will start with about 20 words, and then within a day I'll probably easily recognize half of them. The 10 I'm struggling with, I will add a couple phrase that use characters I'm familiar with. (I'm now upper intermediate) I would not use this for absolute beginners. But once you know 300 - 500 characters, it works well.
thank you a lot. It's really useful
Great vid man
perapera(ペラペラ) means fluent in Japanese.
Pablo Vidal Peinado kiss ueta
😂😂😂 I was thinking Pear Pear
Jack Barr Johnston
Isn't it the onomatopoeia for speaking foreign?
No.
Perapera? In philipines pera means money so in tagalog perapera means moneymoney hahaha
SKL(share ko lng)
Pera is italian too
This is the most useful video for learning mandarin. Thank you so much😭
Thanks for the tips! 谢谢
Very useful. Thanks!
The name perapera comes from Japanese, it's an onomatopoeia for speaking non-stop but is often used in the context of fluency.
Thanks for Anki, I've been searching for some app like that for so long!
Надежда Глазунова Do you use wechat ?
I am Chinese, I want to find a partner to learn spoken English,if you are learning mandarin ,I think we could help each other
Wow. Thanks for the info
Thanks man!
Memrise is great in general for learning vocab I would definitely check it out
Very useful, thanks a lot
Your the man Ari, somebody que that song for this man!
Pleco is AMAZING!! I only use the app version, but it is super helpful!! And it's free!
Ari， 真谢谢你！你的这些信息真的很珍贵！我觉得这些应用，特别是最后两个， 会对我很有帮助。你真棒！
Θάνος Κυριακόπουλος 你表达的很好
你好，你是哪的人？能交个朋友吗？
Oh my word... I think Perapera may be about to change my life. Thanks!
You’ve inspired me to wanna learn a new language
Hey Ari, I like your suggestion of using Anki. I was wondering what your advice would be on practicing saying what you're learning on the flashcard. Just saying it out loud every time? Thanks
Hey ,bro ,I am a mandarin native speaker and im a sophomore .We could help each other ,my Wechat: Bear651319
thanks for this tips
Weird random question that's only 3 1/2 years late... on the topic of flashcards, for a native English speaker looking to learn Mandarin, I was planning on doing this:
I would make 2 completely distinct sets of flashcards: a beginner set where the front is the character and the phonetic spelling (in Mandarin) with the back in English and then a more advanced set where it's the character on the front with just the phonetic spelling on the back (and maybe even a third middle set which is character on front/phonetic+English on back). The idea being that whenever I add a word to one of the sets, I would add it to the other one too. I guess the idea is that the beginner set is very helpful in beginning to gain a recognition for characters but still trying to grow my speaking vocabulary, whereas the more advanced one is solely for the purpose of reading/writing at that point once my spoken vocabulary has improved.
Does that make any sense? Or is that a waste of time/is there a better way? Thank you so much for any help in advance :)))
Thank you so much! 你真的好棒！
Great vid.
thank you mate!
Great -- thanks!
I often use it when listening it's my favorite app.
Thanks dude
What you think about the mandarin blueprint program ? Is worth it?
Thank you
Thank you so much its really hepled💖💖💖💖
Thanks for recommending Bing..However, I don't see the pinyin under the translatation anymore..is it the same for everyone?
Me diste una buena mano! Maestro!
I am surprised you don't mention Skritter app... It's not free but it's a must have to learn how to write Chinese.
Ari, I have Pleco and a bunch of add ons, but I have a hell of a time with the camera reading text. I never can seem to focus it right or get it to capture the words. Do you have any tips?
I'm a lil late, but I believe the name perapera is supposed to be japanese; it's an onomatopeiac word which means "fluently" ! (e.g. speaking a language)
thanks its a great vid
I wish you would list out the sites to click on them easier. But i am going to try these sites out. thanks.
Very informative video! Thanks a lot! We also use app "Baidu Translate" (百度翻译）， it's free and powerful.
I have a lot of Chinese apps and they help a lot 谢谢 for making this video 😊
밝은 태양. 你好
哈哈哈，不错哦
你好， 我的 中文 不是 好 😂 I wonder if that's even right lol 再见！
This is one of the best videos that I have found to find good Mandarin study resources! 谢谢你
SilverFox Productions you will also visit RUclips about happy Chinese lessons Malik from Pakistan
CCTV also has a live stream on RUclips
If I wanted to study Chinese or any language in whatever 15 min breaks I have, what would you advise I do? What apps and learning tools? What method? Thanks!
what do you recommend id I just want to learn to speak verbally and understand? not worry about text yet...?
你帮了我很多。以前我不知道了在电脑怎么写中文。谢谢！
Achaemenes of Persia yeah you can. “不说了” ”不会了” ”不在了” it makes sense..?
厉害了👍
搜狗输入法呗
How did you learn to write in Chinese?
Good stuff
Thanks ❤
Can you share the link of XIMALAYA? I didn't find that app in Google play store. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing all this wonderful sites and apps!!! :))
These seem like great resources once you already know the basic structure and vocabulary of the language, but not for initially learning. I've attempted to learn Chinese several times in my life and what always derails me is the monotony of learning words and feeling like I can't use them at all. Last time I went through half of the Chinese Skill lessons app when they were free, invested at least dozens of hours into an app called Influent on steam and I couldn't even read a children's book. And I don't just mean I couldn't read parts of it. I mean I couldn't read nearly a single damn word in Chinese children's book after already being able to recognize hundreds of characters. The road to just being able to even look up words in Chinese by entering in pinyin in my cell phone was a difficult one to go down. Again, I appreciate the resources, but I would exactly say this list is for learning Chinese, but rather for using as a reference for people who already know some Chinese.
PeraPera removed the download link for the popup dictionary. I don't know which other dictionary to trust?
Great compilation. xiexie!
Please make a video on how to use glossika! I bought it but I'm not quite sure how to use the GMS method optimally.
Do you know the best apps for Japanese?
I found my current gf through iTalki haha, she's a Chinese teacher.
I am looking for free apps and websites for learning chinese in german. There are not so many apps or websites like in English!
Love you xiaoma!
HELP
I am giving Hsk 4 next month any tips .
When I tried to load "Chinese Sentences and audio, spoon fed" from Anki web, It only gathered 20 notes for me, But my question is where is the rest of 8122 notes?
guess you figured it out by now: you have all of them in anki (you can see it in the overview). But anki gives you 20 new notes a day to learn (can change that to less or more in the options). I'm only on day 2 so far but already feel like I learnt a lot
