Chinese Speaking Practice
Read a real HSK word out loud and your browser's speech recognition scores your Mandarin pronunciation on the spot. Hear the native model, speak, build a streak — then drill the ones you missed.
- Listen — tap to hear a native voice say the word.
- Speak — tap the mic once (or press the spacebar) and say the word aloud. Allow microphone access the first time. No need to tap again — listening stops by itself when you pause, and your answer is graded automatically. (Tapping the mic while it's listening finishes early.) For one-syllable words, stretch the sound or say it twice in a row — both count.
- Score — green clear: 100 points, +50 if you said it before pressing Listen · yellow close: 50 · a miss gets one free retry, the second costs one of your 3 ❤.
- Climb — ten words a round; every two rounds the next HSK level joins. Four clear in a row raises your combo (up to ×5), and the level multiplies it all (×1 Beginner → ×4 Expert). Expert hides the pinyin until you answer.

Production, not recognition
Reading and listening train recognition; speaking trains production — a different skill. You only find out whether you can actually produce a sound by producing it, and the recognizer tells you instantly whether it came out clearly.
Model, then mimic
Hearing a native voice right before you speak gives your mouth a target to copy. Listen, echo it back immediately, and compare — that tight loop is how pronunciation actually improves.
Real HSK words
Every prompt is a real HSK 1–6 headword from the official word lists, starting with the high-frequency vocabulary you need first for everyday Mandarin, so speaking practice doubles as vocabulary review.
