Read
Books you actually want to read, at your level
Tutor curates graded readers at many levels, from first sentences up to full stories. Help appears over the words you don't know yet — everything else is just reading.
- Graded readers curated at every level
- Tap any word for pronunciation and meaning
- Line translations there when you want them, hidden when you don't
Chat
A tutor who talks with you, at your speed
Speak or type in whichever language comes naturally — your tutor always answers in Chinese you can understand, with your language right below. No racing, no pressure: the conversation moves at your pace, at your level, about your life.
- Talk by voice or text, in either language
- Replay any sentence as many times as you need
- It remembers what you talked about last time
Watch
Watch what you already watch
Pick any show or playlist on YouTube. Tutor lines up the transcript with help on the hard words, so you can follow real speech about the things you already care about.
Your words
Tutor remembers every word you know
Every word you meet is tracked — the ones you've mastered, the ones you're still meeting, the ones you've never seen. That's why the help thins out on its own: as words become yours, their training wheels come off everywhere in the app.
Why this works
Understandable input, about things that matter to you
Linguist Stephen Krashen showed that we acquire languages through comprehensible input — content just slightly above your level, that you can still understand. Educators call it “i+1”. Because Tutor remembers exactly which words you know, it can keep everything you read and hear in that zone.
Krashen also found that you acquire fastest when the content is meaningful to you and you're relaxed. So instead of drills, points, and streaks, Tutor simplifies the language — never the substance — of the things you already enjoy.
Notes
Keep your notes and journal, bilingually
Write about your day in either language. Tutor helps you say it in Chinese — and what you write becomes part of what it knows about you.
Day videos
Turn your day into a story video
Chat about your day and add a few photos — Tutor turns them into a short narrated video in Chinese, about your own life. Nothing is more comprehensible than your own story.
Clipboard
Paste anything, read everything
Copy any text — a message, an article, a menu — and the clipboard reader gives it the same word-by-word help.
