Natural and Intuitive Way to Learn Spoken Chinese

The Serial Course contains months worth of content and is designed to take you from absolute beginner all the way to intermediate level. It starts out with extremely simple sentences and gently builds on that, only introducing new material very gradually. The content is carefully designed so that you are never confronted with a word you don't know. The aim of the course is to give you the essential building blocks for forming practical sentences of your own. It naturally integrates spaced repetition so that as you move forward you are continually revising previous content.

Powerful Revision Features

Research into language acquisition has shown that repetition of comprehensible content is one of the most effective ways of learning a language. Repetition Training is a core feature of Immersive Chinese that allows you to play a specific selection of content on a continuous loop according to a number of different settings. You can set the specific time delay before and after each sentence, use normal speed or slow recordings, repeat each sentence a certain number of times, and use a random or sequential order. You can also add custom filters, so you only study the exact material you want to.

Immersive Chinese uses meticulous course design and quality audio content to provide the best way to learn spoken Chinese from scratch. Give it a try and start making progress today.

Two year update: I still love it! Such a well designed app! I downloaded this yesterday and tried it out today. It's exactly what I've been hoping for to further my learning. There were a few things that I thought it would be nice if it could be adjusted, and then I moved to a new screen or settings, and it had more options than I could imagine. I've been using duolingo and watching Chinese language television with English subtitles. I think this app will drastically improve my comprehension.

Closest to my preferred way of learning languages. So fun and puzzle like. I couldn't believe it at first, as language learning apps are almost never like this. Most appreciated. Also, God bless the creators for the pronunciation section! No one had explained it to me in this way, so now my brain is finally starting to make sense of tones. I only wish it was a bit more stable. For instance, sometimes the star on the upper right corner doesn't appear so I'll have to exit and come back.

Immersive chinese is a genuine 10/10. The app provides a proper and easy to understand overview of the language without dumbing it down. The limited vocabulary per lesson makes learning vocabulary easy and manageable and sets a realistic goal. The premium version is super affordable and 100% worth it. The only downside is, of course, that chinese isn't a language you can learn by just reading and writing. You will eventually need a real person to interact with to progress your studies.
