你中文说得真好！ “Your Chinese is really good!”
Hear this at the next family dinner.
Shuo is an iPhone app for learning to really talk in Chinese. Practice short, real conversations with friendly characters, so the next time your partner's family asks you something, you have an answer.
How a conversation goes
Five minutes. One real conversation.
Every conversation has a goal, like making a plan or turning down an invitation politely. Reach it in your own words. Nobody grades your grammar.
1Meet the moment
See who you're talking to and what you need to get done.
2Talk it through
Speak or type. Pinyin, translation and hints are there when you need them.
3Take one tip home
One clear suggestion you can use tomorrow. The moment comes back on day 3 and day 7.
The people you'll talk to
Friends who wait for your answer.
Each conversation has its own character, with a personality and a way of talking. They never switch to English.
Lin 林
The friend who plans every weekend.
Zhou Yu 周宇
A shy student who's learning English.
Chen Xiao 陈晓
An old classmate who asks about everything.
A Jie 阿杰
A film fan who gets very excited.
Wang Lei 王蕾
A calm colleague who likes a good debate.
Help without penalty
Pinyin, translation, listening help and hints are one tap away. Using them never lowers your level.
Progress you can trust
No points, no streaks, no made-up scores. See what you practiced, and what you can now say on your own.
It comes back to you
24 chapters, from 你好 to sharing your opinion. Each one returns on day 3 and day 7, so it stays with you.
Questions
Before you join
When does Shuo launch?
We plan to release Shuo on the App Store in December 2026. People on the waitlist hear first.
Can I try it before launch?
Yes. In November we'll invite a small group from the waitlist to test Shuo on TestFlight. You can tell us right after you sign up.
What level do I need?
Shuo works best if you already know a little: greetings, numbers, a few phrases. It is not a course for complete beginners.
How much will it cost?
Shuo will be a subscription. We'll share the price before launch.
Is there an Android version?
Not yet. Shuo starts on iPhone.
Be ready for the next family dinner.
Join the waitlist. We'll email you when Shuo is ready, and nothing else.
