Chinglish

Learn Chinese by chatting in Chinglish!

Are you better at learning by doing examples and solving puzzles rather than learning theory? Try to chat in 'Chinglish', which is like the instructions you get from some products from China. This is using Chinese sentence order but with English words, made famous by master Yoda and similar to what you may find on street signs in China or pages on AliExpress.

English speaking proof readers of English written by Chinese have found they develop a good understanding of how the Chinese language 'feels' even before they start learning the language properly.

This app focuses on re-creating that experience in a fun and natural way - an online chat program. You will become familiar with the structure of the language even before you start learning new words.

This app is not really for learning Chinese words or vocabulary - there are many other excellent apps focusing on that aspect. It is for learning the pattern of sentences.

Reading the English written by Chinese is also a good way to learn the language and can be quite funny, as the strangely translated signs that are posted on forums attest.
