TCB | Read Chinese to Learn

I really enjoy te different choice of texts, the exercises included to practice and the grammar explanations. It really helps to improve my reading in Chinese.

This app has found its way into my daily routine! It has improved so much over the last few months!! I recommend this app 100%.. download it today, and subscribe. It’s the best deal available by a country mile!!

This app has come on leaps and bounds in recent weeks. It’s now become an essential tool in my day to day Chinese studies. Great work TCB. Content is great, price is better than the other offerings on the App Store. You really should get this app if you want to expand your comprehension. 👍👍

I have been using it everyday for a year and learnt so much while being in touch with news all over the world Graded news is really cool, so depending on your mood you can go to a lessons that fits your need in that moment. The IOS app is just so easy to use and makes it accesible all the time.

I’m paying for this too but can’t access articles. Remove bugs and this thing rocks.

Great app for listening to news articles in Chinese while being able to touch on Chinese words with pinyin to see the translation as you listen.

I have been studying Traditional Mandarin forever and always looking for new apps in order to improve my skills. So years ago, I went through this fabulous The Chairman’s Bao and fell in love with it! This year I made the decision of purchasing a few Mandarin lifetime subscriptions apps and can’t be happier with the decision I made !!!🤓🤩🙏🏻 Reading and listening are one of the keys in order to acquire a new language skills, especially if one wants to take it to a higher level. This app focus on this -I would say - almost a 100%. It helps to connect audio, reading / sentences sequences, and Chinese characters , so you can practice memorizing as well. The fact you can also read aloud these short stories and articles is a fantastic way to feel confident with Mandarin. It’s amazing how many different words one can learn by reading this material regularly!! One of the positive things about TCB is its huge and diverse library with different levels of vocabulary, which is renewed I think almost every day with new additions ! Please, give a try! You won’t regret!🙌🏻🌟🤩It’s SO easy to keep up with Mandarin this way!🫶🏻🥰 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! I would like to thank Diego and his wonderful team for their patience and kindness!🙌🏻🤩 Leah Grullón M.

I’m so happy with the new TCB app! The team has done a great job and I’m convinced that TCB is really the only app one would need to study Chinese. Maybe the part that could use some improvement is the flash card system. However, TCB has integration with Hack Chinese - which I haven’t used yet - so I imagine it’s not a priority to tinker with. Maybe I’m using that feature incorrectly, but I can’t seem to get cards to sort from oldest to newest. And there’s no notification like in an SRS style flash card system of what you should be reviewing when. I use a free app for that part of learning but there’s also a lot of debate whether flash cards are even helpful. TCB gives students the tools to take charge of their learning and that is what I appreciate most. The audio for the stories is exceptional and the content is so interesting compared to a textbook. I genuinely enjoy reading the articles that are published. Thanks!

This is one of my most useful apps for learning Chinese characters In an interesting and meaningful way. I would like to see more variety in text sizing. I noticed some want the size to be smaller but I would like it to be larger especially the first time I’m studying an article. I do sometimes have glitches in the games section for some reason. I really like those games because my memory needs them to help retain the characters.

What a great app!
