11 points by chineseskill 4097 days ago
Hi everyone, This is Wang Zhulong, the creator of ChineseSkill, a completely free app for learning Mandarin. Demo video: http://bit.do/VPuy

We just published our latest version of the app and would like to invite you guys to try it out. We did a major facelift on the UI and illustrations. We added "Fluent Now" feature to allow users do speaking practices and get automatic evaluation.

To download, you may search "ChineseSkill" or click android - http://bit.do/UU2X iOS - http://bit.do/UU2X

Please don't hesitate to send me feedback via in-app feedback section, app store reviews. We wish you the best luck to your Chinese learning endeavor.

Another resource for mandarin specifically replacing flashcards for simplified characters.

It's pretty ballsy to release this kind of app for free without IAP, but how the hell do you intend to monetize it?
This is the spirit. Why should there be anything for free?
I'm afraid I can't disclose too much at this point. We are focusing on making a good product, and I believe monetization will work out if the app is endorsed by our users.
your android link points to the itunes store. ;)
