Koucai

Speaking well starts with practice.

Read a short passage, retell it from memory, and hear how you sound. A few minutes a day, in Chinese or English.

For iPhone and iPad

How it works

  1. Read

    Read a short passage, or listen to it read aloud first.

  2. Retell

    When you start, the text fades away. Tell it again in your own words.

  3. Listen back

    Play your recording and read its transcript, made on your device.

Every day

Talk through your day, with no script and no countdown. Each entry is transcribed and kept by month.
