Natural and Intuitive Way to Learn Spoken Chinese

The Serial Course contains months worth of content and is designed to take you from absolute beginner all the way to intermediate level. It starts out with extremely simple sentences and gently builds on that, only introducing new material very gradually. The content is carefully designed so that you are never confronted with a word you don't know. The aim of the course is to give you the essential building blocks for forming practical sentences of your own. It naturally integrates spaced repetition so that as you move forward you are continually revising previous content.

Powerful Revision Features

Research into language acquisition has shown that repetition of comprehensible content is one of the most effective ways of learning a language. Repetition Training is a core feature of Immersive Chinese that allows you to play a specific selection of content on a continuous loop according to a number of different settings. You can set the specific time delay before and after each sentence, use normal speed or slow recordings, repeat each sentence a certain number of times, and use a random or sequential order. You can also add custom filters, so you only study the exact material you want to.

Immersive Chinese uses meticulous course design and quality audio content to provide the best way to learn spoken Chinese from scratch. Give it a try and start making progress today.

Two year update: I still love it! Such a well designed app! I downloaded this yesterday and tried it out today. It's exactly what I've been hoping for to further my learning. There were a few things that I thought it would be nice if it could be adjusted, and then I moved to a new screen or settings, and it had more options than I could imagine. I've been using duolingo and watching Chinese language television with English subtitles. I think this app will drastically improve my comprehension.

Love this app. Been learning Chinese for years and hit a wall. I feel like I know quite a bit but have real difficulty understanding speech. Even on the very beginner level there are things to learn or have reinforced. It's not easy to find listening resources on the net for pre intermediate (it's getting better tbh) but this app nails it. Love how the vocab builds and repeats over the lessons, letting you get a feel for the grammar and in particular all the adverbs conjunctions etc

This is a great app for building up a vocabulary gradually, in a logical step by step way, whilst learning to recognise the characters as well... The author sent me Excel spreadsheets with the sentences and vocabulary so I could make writing practice sheets (using an online tool) and this helps my dyslexic brain learn effectively. Used together with other tools this app is really helpful... Many thanks for your innovative approach to learning!!
