CiaoSpeak: Chinese for TOCFL

CiaoSpeak teaches Traditional Chinese the way Taiwan speaks it: everyday Taiwanese Mandarin with Zhuyin or Pinyin, Taiwan-accent audio, Chinese tones and pronunciation from your first lesson, and units labeled with TOCFL levels from Novice to Band B. Then you use it: people in real Taiwan scenes ask you questions, and you answer out loud.

Every lesson is free. Always. No account needed: open the app and start learning.

SPEAK CHINESE: ANSWER REAL QUESTIONS OUT LOUD • Someone in a real Taiwan scene asks you one question: the auntie at the breakfast shop, a night-market stall owner, a taxi driver, a new coworker, a language-exchange partner. • Answer by voice or by typing. If a person would understand you, it counts. If not, you get one gentle fix and a more natural way to say it. • Stuck? Help shows the meaning, a pattern and examples, or type it in English, see it in Chinese, then say it yourself. • New questions unlock as you finish lessons and come back a little harder. My phrasebook keeps every sentence you managed to say.

LEARN STEP BY STEP • A real curriculum from the four tones and your first "hello" through everyday vocabulary, grammar and full sentences. • Units are labeled with their TOCFL level (Novice 1, Novice 2, Band A, Band B). A placement quiz lets returning learners skip ahead.

CHINESE TONES AND PRONUNCIATION • The first unit trains your ear: the four tones on one syllable, word pairs that differ only by tone (買 mǎi "buy" and 賣 mài "sell"), and the pinyin letters English speakers misread, like x, q, zh and c.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE, ZHUYIN AND TAIWAN AUDIO • Pinyin or Zhuyin (bopomofo): switch any time in Settings. • Taiwan-accent audio on every word, sentence, story line and Speak question, not a mainland accent. • Handwriting practice with stroke-order guides.

STORIES • Leveled dialogues, articles and chapter series, from absolute beginner to intermediate. Tap any word for its meaning as you read.

REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARN • Spaced-repetition mistake review across lessons and stories. • Streaks, XP, daily quests, badges and an optional daily reminder.

CIAOSPEAK+ Every lesson and all mistake review are free, and so are today's Speak questions (up to five a day).
