Pros

  • If you want an introduction app, then try HelloChinese.
  • Most people say helloChinese is better.
  • I would say initially, HelloChinese is better for a beginner. It does better explaining grammar and sentence structure.
  • I've tried and enjoyed both Hello Chinese and Super Chinese already.
  • In September last year I casually started doing some HelloChinese lessons. This was my first introduction into Mandarin, and I absolutely loved it! I really enjoyed the lessons, and I felt like the language was clicking super well for me...

Cons

  • HelloChinese is really good for it's essentially built in DuChinese style reading practice when you reach an intermediate level, the new 3.0 course has felt a bit painfully slow to me though.
  • For what it's worth, I'm using Hello Chinese in Portuguese, and the translation from English is not always great, so I can't be sure what the sentence originally was.
  • Parent context: I tried hellochinese, but i found it goes FASTER because it doesn't have any review section. I found myself forgetting basic words like 喝, 口,家 etc. Reply: I tried hellochinese, but i found it goes FASTER because it doesn'...
  • I use HelloChinese now. Only used duo for 2-3 weeks and felt it was not stellar.
  • i’m finding that most of the resources, like the stories, (not sure about the lessons) for hello chinese, use the incorrect characters in traditional, like there is usually at least 1 visible error in the traditional chinese stories.

Download TikTok, Xiaohongshu, or HelloChinese. There’s audio chatrooms where people hang out and shoot the shit, good for practice.
