I am a senior software engineer in 北京 and my wife works at 人大. We are both quite involved in teaching and have to say; Good pronunciations and the idea of constructing patterns and sentences is nice and refreshing. Wish we could also have a similar tool to assist with teaching English. Small issue, the app is called learnfastIOS on install.



Thanks for point that out! Correcting it promptly! (I renamed the app, as I prefer the name MandarinTap)


Makes more sense...

Oh yeah, changeable font would be nice as Chinese characters are mostly about pattern recognition. And as you know, they have the stylized and abstract way... Clerical, regular, etc. This can sometimes lead to confusion to newcomers as endingsvare more fluent, angled, etc.


It's still showing as LearnFastIOS for me: iPhone 4 5.0.1, iPad 3 5.1.1.
