Great app. I love using this app to listen to native speakers read real news articals. You can click on words while you listen to see translations. There are 6 skill levels. I'm studying levels 1 and 2. Sometimes 3. They adapt the articles in the lower skill levels accordingly. Each higher level gets harder (more descriptions and faster pronunciations). New articals come out every day so there is no lack of interesting news articles to study from. They are also quick to respond to suggestions.

Really good service, although I haven't used it lately because I havent had time to study Chinese. It is much better to have input which has been carefully chosen to be at an appropriate level rather than anything written for native speakers—even children, who are very different from second-language beginners. Totally worth a subscroption.

Awful. First "lesson" just plays an essay in spoken Chinese with corresponding Chinese characters and then quizzes you on the ~100 characters it just showed you. That would be challenging if I'd been studying the language for a year. Impossible and a miserable experience for a complete beginner. Worthless app. Feels like it was made by people with zero experience in teaching language.

We would expect students to have at least a foundation level in Chinese before accessing. However, we have beginner videos which may be accessible beforehand. When you reach the level to access our news articles, please feel free to contact at contact@thechairmansbao.com. We'll set you up with a free month to explore the platform. Thanks - Team TCB
