Description
Read your way to fluent Chinese.
Drilling characters doesn't work. Simple. You learn a word by meeting it in real sentences, written the way native speakers actually write.
So that's what maayot gives you: one real story a day, at your level. Read it, tap what you don't know, listen to the native recording, take the quiz. Five minutes, maybe ten. One of our readers does it with his morning coffee.
READ AT YOUR LEVEL
A new story every day, matched against the words you already know. You see the fit before you start: "84% known words, 28 new words."
Six levels, Beginner 1 to Advanced 2, aligned with HSK and TOCFL
A short placement test finds your level. Too easy or too hard? Adjust anytime.
Simplified or Traditional characters, your choice
UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD
Tap any word for pinyin, meaning and example sentences
Long-press and AI explains what the word means in that exact sentence
Pinyin sits right above new words in the text
Every word you meet is tracked from New to Mastered
LISTEN AND SPEAK
Native audio for every story. Slow it down while you follow along, speed it up when you're feeling brave.
Record yourself reading the story out loud
GET CORRECTED BY A REAL TEACHER
Answer the daily writing question, or send in a recording of yourself reading
A real Chinese teacher goes through both and writes back: which tone slipped, which character you keep reversing, what to work on tomorrow.
Not an algorithm. A person. You'll wake up to their feedback.
MAKE IT STICK
A short quiz after each story checks you really understood it
Streaks and a monthly calendar keep the habit visible
Everything you've read stays in your story history
Languages stick through repetition, not marathons. Meeting a word again tomorrow does more for you than an hour of drilling once a week.
