Say it like you mean it.
Most apps quiz you on tones. nihowdy shows you what your voice actually did — your own pitch drawn over the reference contour on a five-line staff — then tells you one thing to fix.
Get the appShort lessons
Three to six minutes. Pinyin and tones first, because that's what makes you understood.
Your voice, drawn
Record a line and see your contour next to the native one. Scoring is deterministic signal processing, not a language model guessing.
A patient tutor
Type or speak. Get one correction at a time, and always something you can reply with. Off until you allow it.
Listening you can almost follow
Sixty short dialogues, each graded against the words you have actually learned. The transcript stays hidden until you have listened once.
Conversations with a goal
Rent the flat. Get the deposit down. The other person will not hand it to you, and the review at the end quotes what you actually said.
How people really live there
Register, refusal, face, work hours, renting, hospitals, and eight city guides. Every note shows the date it was checked.
What it costs
Units 1–2, the daily review queue, five Tone Studio attempts a day, and ten tutor turns a day are free, forever.
Pro is $12.99/month or $79.99/year with a 7-day trial on the annual plan: the full course, unlimited Tone Studio, listening, conversations, city guides, and custom decks. Prices inside the app come from the App Store and may vary by region.
