Free HSK Speaking Test — find your spoken Chinese level in 3 minutes

HSK tells you your reading and listening level. But how good is your spoken Mandarin, really? That's the hardest thing to judge on your own — so we built a free test for it.

🎯 Start the free HSK speaking test →

Have a short voice (or text) conversation with an AI native speaker for about three minutes. ToneTutor estimates your spoken HSK level (1–6), gives you a 0–100 score, your strengths and weak points, and a shareable score card. No signup.

How the HSK speaking test works

  1. Pick a scenario + your HSK level (ordering food, a job interview, travel).
  2. 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.
  3. Get your level. An end-of-test card shows your estimated HSK speaking level, score, and exactly what to drill next.

Why speaking is the part nobody practices

Most Chinese apps drill flashcards and isolated tone pairs — but nobody corrects your tones in an actual conversation, which is exactly where learners plateau and start to sound "off." ToneTutor is built for that gap: real Mandarin conversation practice with instant tone and grammar feedback, available 24/7.

Honest disclaimer: the test grades the transcript of what you say (speech-to-text + Gemini), so it's a spoken-level estimate based on grammar, vocabulary and fluency — not a raw pitch-contour tone analyzer. It's a fast, honest read on where your spoken Mandarin sits, not an official HSK/HSKK score.

Frequently asked questions

How can I practice Chinese speaking by myself?

Hold real conversations with an AI native speaker that grades your tones and grammar as you go, then drill the exact weak points it finds. That's what ToneTutor does — free for your first 3 sessions.

Is the HSK speaking test free?

Yes — the level self-test and your first 3 practice sessions are free, no signup. Pro ($5/month) unlocks unlimited practice.

How accurate is the level estimate?

It's a spoken-level estimate from your grammar, vocabulary and fluency (not pitch analysis). Most learners find it matches where they actually are — and you can tell us when it doesn't.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in your browser on phone or desktop. Mic is supported on iOS and Android.
