River of Chinese
Learn thousands of Chinese words fast with this groundbreaking new app! Forget about clunky flashcards, River of Chinese makes learning new vocabulary as effortless and easy as scrolling through a social media feed. As you scroll, the Hanzi characters glide by in large, easy-to-read fonts. Pinyin pronunciation and the English translation is revealed gradually, providing a natural way to test your recall. As you see new words glide up from the bottom you can practice pronunciation before hearing the word spoken and then seeing the written Pinyin.
