maayot | Read Chinese & Learn

Maayot rend l'apprentissage du chinois facile et motivant avec des histoires captivantes, pinyin, traductions et audio par des natifs. Les quiz et vocabulaire aident à progresser chaque jour. Idéale pour tous les niveaux ! Je recommande vivement !

For the free trial You get one story by week. Which is fair. However, after Sunday the “previous” story disappear so you can’t basically read anything… you have an app that you can use every Sunday, that’s not enough to see whether it’s worth it to upgrade or not

Je voulais apprendre le chinois et cette application m’a permis de m’améliorer dans cette langue. Merci Maayot!

i canceled my subscription in january and am still being charged with no response from the ‘company’. stay away.

Nice app for relaxation.

I will try to learn Chinese from this application

I’m using this app as part of my daily language learning and appreciate the simplicity of use. It’s just a nice extra tool and exercise to work on daily.

I know that language textbooks start with inviting, massive text at the beginning levels and then get increasingly smaller as learners progress, but the text on this app is nearly illegibly small. I don’t even read text this small in my native language because it hurts my eyes to try. It has nothing to do with my Chinese reading ability. The fact that I can’t adjust the text size or copy it into Pleco (where I can adjust the text size and make vocab lists for free) makes this app nearly useless to me. For ten bucks a month, i would expect there to be a vocabulary list feature and text size adjustment ability. The audio also cuts out if you leave the app or hit the lock button on the phone. This means that if you’re working with a text the way most research indicates you should, which would be to only listen to it a few times before listening and following along with the words, you have to have your phone unlocked while listening, which makes doing anything else while listening really difficult. It’s a good idea in theory to only have one text available per day. I was looking forward to trying it out and not facing decision fatigue. But apps like Chairman’s Bao are cheaper and have far more features, even if it’s easy to get overwhelmed or bounce around with a seemingly limitless supply of choices of texts. The premium membership idea just freaks me out. Who would want to record their voice to send to China for “feedback”? Do you know what China uses that kind of information for? If you’re learning Chinese, you should be aware of the dystopian crazy stuff that the CCP is doing with tech. You should assume your voice recording is being used for nefarious purposes. But maayot wants you to pay them fifty bucks a month for that?

It a beautiful app
