Bopomo / Free tools

Free Mandarin tools

Small tools for the Mandarin people speak in Taiwan: the zhuyin alphabet, tones, everyday phrases and a quiz a day. Every sound is Lin, a real Taiwanese voice.

The tools

Where to start

New to Mandarin and heading to Taiwan? Start with the survival phrases deck, then the zhuyin trainer a group a day. Once you can hear the difference between mā and mà in the tone trainer, the daily quiz keeps it all warm in two minutes.

Everything runs in your browser and keeps your progress there, with no account. The guides go deeper: learn Taiwanese Mandarin, the zhuyin chart with sounds and the blog.

Then speak it with Lin

The tools train your ear and eye. Bopomo, the iPhone app, is where you say it out loud: Lin listens and answers, on a trip around Taiwan. Join the waitlist.
