Chinese Audio Trainer

Learn Chinese hands-free! Chinese Audio Trainer turns thousands of themed vocabulary lists into your personal audio course: pick a list, lock your phone, and listen. Native Mandarin recordings and clear spoken translations keep playing for hours — on your commute, at the gym, or as you fall asleep.

Words are drawn from the extensive trainchinese database, the same well-organised, comprehensive coverage of modern spoken Mandarin used by our popular Dictionary and Flash Cards app. Study for the HSK or TOCFL exams, or learn by situation and interest: business Chinese, travel Chinese, how to bargain, argue, make friends…

★ More than 2,000 ready-made lists covering over 40,000 words and phrases

★ Truly hands-free — playback continues with the screen locked, with full control from your lock screen or headphones

★ Make it your own: set the word order, the number of Chinese and translation repetitions, the pause between words, and more — even while playback continues

★ Sleep timer, perfect for learning in bed — set a countdown, or stop at the end of the current round

★ Download only the lists you want; everything plays offline afterwards

★ Read as you listen: Chinese characters (simplified or traditional), Pinyin or Zhuyin, and the translation are shown for every word

★ Log in with your trainchinese account to listen to your personal word lists, or send words for audio training straight from the trainchinese Dictionary and Flash Cards app
