Your personal online Chinese tutor – Mei
Mei builds Mandarin around your goal — travel, drama, work, or HSK — with tones, real dialogue, and explanations in English. On GoTxt you choose a script track: Pinyin (Latin letters, no characters) or classic Traditional characters (漢字). Want to speak from day one without strokes? Pick Pinyin. Need reading and exam writing? Pick characters. Same teacher, two clear modes — not “pinyin first, then you must learn characters later in the same path.”

What our AI teachers can do
Not a translator and not a quiz bank. Our AI teachers run real dialogue: they listen, correct, remember your progress, and adapt the plan to your goal — travel, work, exam, or confident conversation.
Live dialogue, not drills
Your teacher doesn’t ask you to pick A/B/C — they ask a question, listen to your answer, and respond. Mistake? Corrected on the spot with a clear why.
Pronunciation with a mic
Say a phrase into the mic and get clear feedback. Prefer text-only? That’s fine too.
Live voice call
Speak in realtime — like a private lesson, without a fixed slot. Talk, listen, ask again: your teacher keeps up and guides you.
Level that fits from minute one
Short onboarding, then the teacher knows where to start. Pace adapts: no time wasted on what you already know, no skipped gaps.
Smart spaced vocabulary
New words land in your dictionary and return just before you’d forget them.
Memory between sessions
Goals, weak spots, and your current module stay saved. Come back next week — continue where you left off.
Grammar in your language
Hard rules explained in English first — clear, without jargon walls — then practiced in the language you’re learning.
Your rules — “Brains”
Stricter or more supportive? Slang or formal? You set learning rules and change them anytime.
Mei
Your AI tutor
Mei is built for Mandarin learners who struggle with tones — and for the big product choice: script. GoTxt offers two tracks: Pinyin (Latin with tone marks, no hanzi) and classic Traditional characters (漢字). You pick one; Mei keeps dialogue, pronunciation feedback, and English explanations in that mode. Patient, practical, and available whenever you open the chat.
- Focused on tones from day one
- Choose Pinyin or Traditional characters (漢字)
- Real-life scenarios and phrases
- Clear explanations in English
- Available 24/7
Dialogue, not a textbook
Mei doesn’t quiz you with flashcards. You chat about your day, order food, or ask for directions — phrases stick because they matter.
Pinyin or characters — your choice
Two equal modes. Pinyin: Latin letters with tones, no characters — speak and read from day one. Classic: Traditional characters (漢字) when you want writing and exam-style literacy. Set the track when you start with Mei; it’s not a forced “then add characters later” ladder.
Voice and pronunciation feedback
Speak into your mic and Mei listens. She’ll catch mā vs mǎ and tip you on pitch — in the script you chose.
Living Mandarin, not textbook fossil
Modern spoken Mandarin for streets, chats, and travel — not stiff lines nobody says.
Vocabulary that sticks
VocabEngine brings words back just before you’d forget them, inside new dialogues — not endless isolated drills.
Memory between sessions
Mei remembers weak spots (tones, measure words) and brings them back in a new context until they stick.
Starting from zero
Absolute beginner? Start in Pinyin with greetings and tones. Prefer classic writing from the start? Choose 漢字. Either way Mei paces you.
HSK preparation
Aiming for HSK? Mei folds exam-style tasks into conversation. For reading/writing sections, the classic character track is usually the better fit — tell Mei your target.

The bridge between English and Chinese grammar
✅ What will feel familiar
No verb conjugation – “I go”, “he go”, “we go” are all the same in Chinese.
Word order is often similar to English: subject-verb-object.
Pinyin is a full learning track — Latin letters with tones, not only a temporary crutch.
You can start speaking with simple sentences right away.
⚠️ What to watch for
Tones change the meaning – “ma” can mean mother, hemp, horse, or scold.
Measure words sit in front of nouns – “yī gè rén”, “yī běn shū”.
Aspect particles like “le” and “guo” are tricky but crucial for time.
Script choice matters: Pinyin vs 漢字 is a product setting, not “both at once by default.”
💡 Mei guides you through these pitfalls with clear English explanations. Mix up a tone — she’ll correct gently and you’ll get it.

Yes. Mei is built for total beginners. Choose the Pinyin track to speak and read without characters from day one.
Two equal modes. Pinyin: Latin with tones, no hanzi — great for conversation and a fear-free start. Classic: Traditional characters (漢字) when you want writing and exam literacy. You choose at the start; it’s not “pinyin then forced characters in one ladder.”
Only if you pick the classic 漢字 track. On Pinyin you can focus on sound and dialogue. Tell Mei if your goals change later.
Mei is a Mandarin tutor: tones, measure words, progress memory, and your chosen script — not a generic chatbot.
Recommended for tones, not required. You can type; voice makes pronunciation feedback much stronger.

Yes — ask her to slow down anytime, especially on new phrases.
She folds HSK-style practice into conversation. For reading/writing sections, choose the character track and tell her your target level.
