● ToneTutor

Chinese speaking practice — without a tutor or a language partner

The hardest part of learning Mandarin isn't the vocabulary — it's finding someone to actually talk to. ToneTutor gives you an AI native speaker available 24/7, so you can practise speaking the moment you want to.

Most learners can read and recognise far more Chinese than they can confidently say out loud. The fix is reps: real, low-stakes conversation where mistakes are cheap and feedback is instant. That's exactly what this is — talk through everyday scenarios, get your tones and grammar checked on every line, and build the muscle memory that turns study into speech.

How it works

Pick a scenario and your level, then just talk — speak or type in Mandarin and have a real back-and-forth with "Lin Wei", your AI native speaker, with pinyin, translation and audio on every line. Each reply is graded for tones and grammar, and you finish with a summary (or a score card) of exactly what to drill next. Free for your first 3 sessions, no signup.

Honest note: the test grades the transcript of what you say (speech-to-text + Gemini), so it's a spoken-level estimate from your grammar, vocabulary and fluency — not a raw pitch-contour tone analyzer. A fast, honest read on where you stand.
