Learn Mandarin tones by hearing your own pitch
Mandarin has four tones, and the tone changes the word: mā (mother), má (hemp), mǎ (horse), mà (to scold). Tone Trainer listens through your microphone, draws your pitch curve over the target curve, and tells you exactly what to fix, one named hint at a time.
A home practice tool, not a teacher, therapist or safety device. Everything runs on your device: no video, audio or images are sent anywhere. Feedback is automatic and can be wrong. For real instruction, learn from a qualified Mandarin teacher or a native-speaker community, linked on the Resources page. Full disclaimer
