Immersive Chinese

This app has clear pronunciation and I just love the setup. It’s really easy to navigate and it has helpful notes on some lessons to clear up any confusion.

One of the best apps for learning Chinese. Totally worth the money for a lifetime subscription. I really like the method they employed for learning the language gradually. I really do wish the developers upload new lessons for advanced learners.

Yes…language learning should include many approaches best for you (at least several). If you could only do one.., this is it.! You got it in the palm of your hand. “Immersive Chinese” … the best app in the market place. Fast, Easy, affordable results. Step by step “usable language” that flows from level to level… Real-World results. Kudos to Immersive Chinese 加油！

The app seems good for listening practice, but the forward / back arrows (or swiping) do not work in auto play, which is a big issue for this type of app. When you couldn’t hear or understand something, there needs to be a quick and easy way to go back to that card (especially when using it while exercising, etc). I contacted the developer and he responded quickly, but said that it was too difficult to get those buttons to work correctly on iOS, so they disabled them instead…

This is a very well done app! The interface is very clean and easy to use, even on the go. The recordings are very clear and recorded consistently. Most important here is there is no extraneous content, like music or intro nonsense. So it is pure listening content with no wasted time. What I like most is that there is lots of variations in sentence construction, like you might run into in real life. Also lots of settings to control auto repeat and delays so that you can get the most out of listening time. A very well constructed learning tool that I really enjoy using. I highly recommend this app!

After 15 years of frustration with tutors, classes, textbooks, workbooks, flash cards, audio courses, translators, dictionaries (okay except Pleco), and umpteen apps that claim to teach Chinese, with Immersive Chinese I've been more motivated and have made more progress in just a few weeks, especially reading and listening, and even recalling and writing characters. The interactive drill format, incremental introduction of vocabulary, and real-life sentences that teach grammar implicitly without a word of linguistic jargon, are truly ingenious. The lack of irrelevant graphics, animations, gaming, stories, cultural diversions and other distractions let me focus on building language skills and experience the pure joy of learning.

It doesn’t sync well between devices (ie, logs you out) and doesn’t show the audio controls on the Lock Screen.

Great tool for learning mandarin with high-quality pronunciation and overall lesson plans. Keep up the great work!

I use this app when I don’t have lessons on italki and many people have commented that my pronunciation is very standard. Very pleased with the amount of content and brief explanations

The app is fine. I like it. I’d pay for it if it was a one time fee, like most apps used to be. But now everything has to require a subscription. Why do I need to keep paying every month for? What additional value is being provided that it requires a subscription? Sorry but I don’t see it. This app needs a one time payment option. Update: thanks for the lifetime subscription option. Here’s some other things that I hope you can implement in the future: Save and retrieve repetition training criteria - this will make the feature much more useful Bookmarks - right now there’s no easy way to get back to where we last were. English audio translations - this would be very helpful
