Immersive Chinese

It is highly customisable for learning how to pronounce and comprehend Mandarin Chinese, including characters. The learning curve is smooth from absolute beginner, with repetition training and male/female audio recordings. I cannot rate this app highly enough.

I used this app when learning chinese from scratch and as I’ve progressed it’s still relevant and challenging. An excellent tool, especially for those needing to get better as listening and understanding chinese as well as expanding vocabulary. A++

This Immersive App is a necessity for anyone learning Chinese outside of China! It provides you with an apt set of contributory learning functions, such as repetition and pronunciation lessons. It also explains the cultural significances behind certain words/phrases and continues to clarify any possible confusion that could arise with specific word usage. I highly recommend purchasing the full version, however, even without doing so, the free version can be just as useful (to a certain extent).

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!
