The first chapter
starts with you.
We’re preparing a small Android beta for curious learners.
Try the app, tell us where it clicks, and where it doesn’t.
Beta recruitment is not open yet
We plan to thank testers with free Premium access. The duration, eligibility and redemption details will be published before sign-up opens. Feedback should be honest; a public review or positive rating is never required.
Questions about the beta?Android first. Other platform release dates haven’t been announced.
A few good questions
Before you begin.
What is Chinese 101?
A Chinese learning app for Android that brings together a character dictionary, lesson examples and a daily discover–context–recall routine. It’s designed for short, regular practice.
Can I download it now?
The Android beta is in preparation. We’ll publish the Google Play testing link and tester terms here when enrollment is ready.
How complete is the course?
The bundled curriculum is a preview: 260 of 702 lessons are marked corrected, and 442 are drafts. Audio, stroke guides and memory illustrations cover selected content. The app does not assess your speech.
Do I need an account? Is progress synced?
No Chinese 101 account is needed. Progress stays on your device; there’s no cloud sync. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes local progress. Google Play handles subscriptions and purchase restoration.
