Features

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.
How it works

Start speaking Mandarin in four simple steps

01

Start a chat with Mei

Open GoTxt and say “你好” to Mei. She'll ask about your goals and current level, then customize your first lesson on the spot.

02

Set your pace

Tell Mei how much time you have each day. Even ten minutes is enough to practice tones and a few phrases. She'll adapt to your schedule.

03

Practice by voice or text

Use the microphone to speak, or type if you prefer. Mei gives instant feedback, so you always know how you're doing.

04

Review and grow

Mei tracks your progress and reviews tricky points before they fade. You'll see real improvement in your pronunciation and vocabulary.

Mei

Your AI tutor

Mei is your dedicated online tutor, powered by AI but warm as a friend. She understands that English speakers often struggle with tones and characters, so she designed her teaching around those exact challenges. She never rushes you; she listens, corrects gently, and encourages you to try again. Mei knows the real-life Mandarin you'll hear in Beijing, Shanghai, and beyond, and she weaves cultural notes into every lesson. With her, you're not just memorizing – you're connecting with a language and its people.

  • Focused on tones from day one
  • Adapts to your pace and goals
  • Uses real-life scenarios and phrases
  • Provides clear explanations in English
  • Available 24/7, so you learn when it suits you
Dialogue, not a textbook
Mei doesn't quiz you with flashcards. You chat about your day, order food, or ask for directions. This way, you learn phrases like “我要一杯茶” naturally, and you remember them because they matter to you.
Voice and pronunciation feedback
Speak into your microphone and Mei listens. She'll tell you if your tone is off on words like “mā” (mother) versus “mǎ” (horse). You'll get instant tips to adjust your pitch and rhythm.
Characters made manageable
Instead of overwhelming you, Mei introduces characters gradually. You'll start with simple ones like “人” and “口”, and soon you'll recognize radicals and build your own character vocabulary.
Pinyin as your bridge
Mei uses pinyin to connect sound to meaning, so you can speak before you master characters. She'll teach you the correct pronunciation of each syllable, making pinyin your stepping stone to fluency.
Vocabulary that sticks
With VocabEngine, Mei reviews words just before you'd forget them. You'll learn “谢谢” and “再见” and actually remember them weeks later, without tedious repetition. Mei gives a real example in dialogue, corrects on the spot, and asks you to repeat the phrase — so the fix sticks in use, not in a quiz.
Memory that follows you
Mei remembers your mistakes and successes between sessions. If you struggled with the “zh” sound, she'll bring it up again, so you improve with every conversation. Mei gives a real example in dialogue, corrects on the spot, and asks you to repeat the phrase — so the fix sticks in use, not in a quiz.
Starting from zero
No prior knowledge? Perfect. Mei's Starter A0 program is designed for absolute beginners. You'll learn greetings like “你好” and numbers from 1 to 10, all with patient guidance.
HSK preparation
Aiming for HSK? Mei tailors practice tests and vocabulary drills to your target level. She'll help you master the format and boost your confidence. Mei gives a real example in dialogue, corrects on the spot, and asks you to repeat the phrase — so the fix sticks in use, not in a quiz.

Chinese grammar: easier than you think

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 gives you a phonetic bridge to pronunciation.
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 are used in front of nouns – “yī gè rén” for people, “yī běn shū” for books.
Aspect particles like “le” and “guo” are tricky but crucial for expressing time.
Characters require practice – but Mei makes them fun.

💡 Mei will guide you through these pitfalls with clear explanations. Don't worry if you mix up a tone – she'll correct you gently and you'll get it.
