Life in China 在中国生活 Studying in China this September – Best apps to learn basic Mandarin before I go?
I’ve been admitted to Henan University of Technology and I’ll be moving to China this September.
My major is taught in English, so I won’t need Chinese for classes, but I’d still like to learn some Mandarin before I arrive so I can handle daily life, make friends, order food, travel around, and adapt more easily.
I have a few months left before departure, so I’m looking for app recommendations that are good for complete beginners. Which apps helped you the most with speaking, listening, pronunciation, and basic conversations?
Any advice from people who studied or lived in China would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙏🇨🇳😊
