WaiChinese

WaiChinese WaiChinese is simply the ultimate app to master Mandarin Chinese pronunciation and tones. Want to be fluent fast? Visit us at www.waichinese.com today.

WaiChinese is changing the way non-native speakers learn Chinese, by developing Mandarin pronunciation learning tools built to take advantage of the latest advances in frequency analysis, voice recognition and mobile/web technology. For years, Mandarin language student pronunciation outcomes have been largely determined by the ability of over-worked teachers to give them one-on-one attention. Mand

arin teachers are expected to spend class-time to improve the pronunciation of all their students, while progressing the class though other required curriculum. Often this has led to poor outcomes for students. Teachers have little incentive to find a solution to this problem because expectations for the outcomes are low based on normative ideas about the difficulty learning Chinese

To resolve this inefficiency, WaiChinese creates classroom centered Mandarin pronunciation learning applications designed for speakers of all levels. The base goal is to improve their pronunciation using our innovative real-time feedback system. The WaiChinese system empowers teachers to manage assignments, evaluate and improve the pronunciation of all their students from one easy to use location. Teachers and students will experience results with the power of the world’s only self-study tool for learning Mandarin pronunciation.
