Hi, Thanks so many for your precious feedback. Love it so much!

Yes, as you pointed out here there is room for improvement in ChineseSkill.

We are now working on our English translation. This is really a big a tough project But we know it is really important for user experience.

And for Android we designed user account for device sync. But unfortunately, it is a little hard to find it. When you open ChineseSkill, tap a menu bar on the left top and then tap the panda icon. ChineseSkill will lead you to register or login. Sorry for the bad design.:(

As to the Testout, its function is to OPT out some lessons. It is just like a key to unlock a door . We will design a "test" for various topics in somewhere else.

And last but most exiting news is that ChineseSkill will add more advanced lessons and features in the near future.

Hope you still love it and give us your feedback here.

Thanks again for your words and time.

Is there a similar app for traditional Chinese and Cantonese? I cannot read or write Chinese, regardless of whether it is simplified or traditional. I can only speak and hear Cantonese as well as read select traditional Chinese characters. Sad for a son who's parents are from HK.
[Android Apps and Games] simplegoodmobile:
Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Jacob_DK:
Hi [MENTION=5997587]ChineseSkill[/MENTION]. Thanks for your response. I found the account setup - and yes, this needs to be much more obvious. I had in no way considered a function to be hidden under the panda. :) Another thing - I can't change profile on my account. I choose "Select from the album" and choose a picture - but then, nothing happens...
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, ChineseSkill supports Traditional Chinese learning. In settings on the left top menu, you are able to choose simplified or traditional Chinese.

Hope ChineseSkill could help you and your son.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
I'm the son :p
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi,

Sorry for late reply.

What device do you use now?

We tested profile change function on many Android devices and it works normally.

Looking forward to your information.

Many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
How is your Chinese learning going now?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Ok, sorry, how is your Chinese learning now? Any problem?
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Didn't start yet.
[Android Apps and Games] chanelallure:
I'm having some trouble with the part where you have to chose the English translation of the word. Its not responding to my touch at all. Tried resetting phone, didn't help.
[Android Apps and Games] kaikai1:
It gives you a few words each lesson. A Mandarin speaker pronounces the words each time. Simple sentences are made. It even tests if you remember how the character is written. It scores you each time. The lessons build off each other. It is quite nice so far.
[Android Apps and Games] tri-state:
Minor Problem

Hi,

I really appreciate using this app and am learning a lot from it. I just noticed a problem that I'd like to share with you

I took and image but XDA won't allow me to submit outside links until 10posts.

The problem is on the : 'a triangular fruit' question, there is not enough room for all words.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi,

Thanks for your feedback here.

Actually, we made a scrollbar for questions that have not enough room to show. When you could not find all words, we suggest you scrooll up and down to find the words you need. Sorry for this design. We should make it more obvious.

If any problem, please leave a message here or contact with support@chinese-skill.com

We will get you back ASAP.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] geokilla:
Was playing the game with my friends over the weekend. Apparently there is a strong accent that makes Mandarin sound a bit weird. I wouldn't know because I can't speak Mandarin, but my girlfriend speaks fluently. She is from Guangzhou, China. Just a thought.

Is there a similar app for Cantonese as well?
[Android Apps and Games] tri-state:
Oh I see,

here is a link to a photo, I can find the words but not fit them on the lines.

h__p://goo.gl/EUemsE

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, ChineseSkill focuses on Mandarin Chinese mainly and audios are recorded by a female broadcast host who is the holder of the top level of standard mandarin pronunciation test (Pu tong hua Shui Ping Ce Shi).

And we understand that Cantonese is very popular oversea. But we are not working on that and hope we could do it some day.

Hope everything goes well with your learning.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, thanks for your information.

Actually when you choose a word, ChineseSkill will add a empty line automatically and then you are able to add the word to the sentence you've build up.

Did I solve your problem?

If you are still confused, please contact with support@chinese-skill.com
[Android Apps and Games] StartGamesDev:
Nice app, downloading it
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks!

If any problem, you may ask for help here. :)
[Android Apps and Games] VideoExpertsGroup:
That looks very useful, maybe I would try Mandarin!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
I think you will love it, Mandarin Chinese.:)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, guys,

We just made two Apps for Chinese learning, one for Chinese Pin Yin and the other one is for travel.

And also, they are completely Free!

Welcome to download them on Google Play:

Chinese Pin Yin:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chineseskill.lan_tool.py

Speak Chinese Language Free

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chineseskill.lan_tool.sc
[Android Apps and Games] Ulrica:
Good Job!

Love them too!
[Android Apps and Games] ironwoman:
It's a great app and I appreciate that it is updated regularly. Some functionality is quite hidden though... Maybe add a "tip of the day" explaining the app?
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, guys,

Some bugs in Pin Yin have been fixed. Please don't forget to update it to the latest version:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chineseskill.lan_tool.py
[Android Apps and Games] Cassiel2:
Obviously no app can do it all. Nothing is better than going to China and learning the language there, but this app is awesome anyhow. It's as close as you can get to a perfect language learning app and it's free! The creators are open to comments and questions and respond very quickly. Couldn't ask for more.
[Android Apps and Games] cofecreamer:
I would say it's working; I feel like I'm making progress. Not perfect yet, but it's getting there.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
We have made a option for users to decide where to save audios and pictures from ChineseSkill in version 1.31. If your internal SD card is too limited, you can choose to move data to external SD card.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, good suggestion!

We will consider that.

Thank you so much.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Gamification makes Chinese language learning a fun activity.

ChineseSkill uses the classic video game tactic of “unlocking” levels only when you get enough multiple choice answers right, bringing you back again and again as you try to beat your own memory.
[Android Apps and Games] chanelallure:
I love it, it's one of my favorite apps now.

All the new words introduced I create flash cards for. My suggestion is to create an option with only characters because I feel like I'm cheating with pinyin the entire time :p
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
You SHOULD ask for more.

The only way to make us perfect.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] olegoil:
I've been learning chinese for 2 years, but such a simple and funny way I see for the first time. My respect to you and your app. It's quite cool! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Would be happy to know more detailed information. Then ChineseSkill can make improvement.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
你好！

谢谢！

Hope you could recommend ChineseSkill to your friends.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, thanks so much for your feedback and compliment.

And yes, we are going to release a new version which contains more "chapters" with more vocabulary. It is a challenge for all language learners. Hope this function will be available soon...

Any feedback, please let us know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks, man.

Any feedback is appreciated. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Chinese New Year is coming. We have special gift for ChineseSkill users.

Can't wait for it!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, guys, ChineseSkill version 1.35 released.

What's new in version 1.35:

1. Users can talk to teachers or developers through feedback.

2. Bugs fixed and performance improvements.

Don't forget to update ChineseSkill on your devices.

;)
[Android Apps and Games] beckyhan:
wow, really high remark. Actually, I think maybe it is faster to learn Chinese, if you can find some Chinese friends, like me.:)
[Android Apps and Games] Danae1:
Updated to Chineseskill 1.35 and it's awesome.

Just a sin. You can not see the order of the lines on the review page of characters. The rest is really very well done.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, so happy to hear from you.

ChineseSkill gets polished with all of you guys wonderful suggestions.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, guys,

ChineseSkill released version 1.35:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chineseskill

What's new in version 1.35:

1. Users can talk to teachers or developers through feedback.

2. Bugs fixed and performance improvements.

Don't forget to update to the latest version.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] Ulrica:
Hi, Developer,

Could you please tell me, when I pass all lessons in ChineseSkill, how many characters I will learn?
[Android Apps and Games] Cassiel2:
Thumps Up for ChineseSkill developer's.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
If you want to teach someone Chinese, at least show your Chinese Skill first.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Does ChineseSkill version 1.35 work smoothly on your devices?
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Ok, I see.

We are not sure whether direct talk feature really helps for education apps. But anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi,

If you finish ChineseSkill all lessons , you will learn more than 1000 frequently used characters.

And we will released a new version at the end of this month which contains more lessons and characters.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for your compliment.

The illustrator is called PANDA in ChineseSkill team, cute and talented.

If you have any comment please let us know. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Are there any Japanese or Korean speaker in XDA?

ChineseSkill supports learning Chinese from Japanese or Korean now.

Please have a try and give us some comment.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] chcknsld:
Haha cool app! This would come in handy pretty well. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Yes these are accurate. A way to think of 在 (zài) is as a way to modify the verb, indicating the ongoing state of the action. It comes before the verbs in this case, where as when saying "We are men." the verb here is the to-be verb 是(shì), something that you don't combine with 在 because of the implied "ongoing" condition of a state of being. Other situations to use 在:

我在吃饭。I'm eating food (in the process at this moment).

他在去银行。He's going to the bank.

你妈妈在做什么？What is your mother doing?

在 can also be combined with other characters:

现在：(time) right now

正在：(another adverb) currently. To be honest I'm a little unclear myself of the distinction between 正在 and 在.

存在：to exist

Yes there is also the location meaning of 在, you may say something as simple as 我在家 (I'm at home). The location follows 在 rather than a verb. In fact you might have 在 following the verb as part of a more complicated sentence such as 把它放在这里！(Put it here!).

Hope the explanation helps. :)
[Android Apps and Games] danlivesey:
Great app keep up the good work.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
We just published our latest version of Android app and would like to invite you guys to try it out. (Not a joke.) We did a major facelift on the UI and illustrations. We added "Fluent Now" feature to allow users do speaking practices and get automatic evaluation. To download, you may just search "ChineseSkill" on Google Play or use this link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chineseskill .

Please don't hesitate to send me feedback via in-app feedback section, app store reviews or just email me at android[at]chinese-skill.com Thank you so much for taking the time to try it out. We wish you the best luck to your Chinese learning endeavor.

PS. Happy April Fool's Day!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Yes, ChineseSkill is completely FREE, No Ad, No IAP.

Enjoy your Chinese learning with ChineseSkill.
[Android Apps and Games] FirstForFun:
I like it, quite fun also which is important in a learning language app
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
So glad you guys here are not only ANDROID developers. :)

Anyway, if you have any problem, please don't forget to leave a message to us.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks!

Every Chinese learner has his/her special story with China. If you don't mind, share your story with us.

Happy weekend!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for your support.

If you keep learning chineseskill 10 minutes everyday you will find you make pregress so fast.

If any problem please contact with us android@chinese-skill.com

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
We have launched an activity on FB to name our Panda.

According to this activity, we decided to name it Peter Panda.

So you can call him Peter.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] memocommute:
I’m running your app in Chrome using ARChon to make it easier for me to learn. Could you please make it so the enter key works the same as the check button? Thank you so much!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
I see, a geek here!

Ok. And I suggest you run ChineseSkill with genymotion. It supports ChineseSkill better than ARChon.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for your message.

How many lessons have you passed?

BTW, your avatar is cute.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks.

If you have any feedback, please let us know.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] innoapps:
Intuitive and simple. The dreaded drilling practice is elegantly designed, which makes learning fun and rewarding. I was addicted on getting a perfect score. Haha.

BTW, any plan to make a Japanese Skill?

:)
[Android Apps and Games] memocommute:
Ok, I will give genymotion a try.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] innoapps:
I really really really like this app so far!

Writing tasks are proving difficult as they require tones to be included and this needs either a keyboard with Chinese tones included (which I don't have) or knowing a sort of code for signifying tones using letters and numbers. The app seems to assume I should know how to do that?
[Android Apps and Games] iwatchandroid:
Pretty cool！

This is free?!? I've paid very good money for much less effective programs.
[Android Apps and Games] gmictop:
Intuitive and beautiful Thanks for the great work.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
So far ChineseSkill supports users learning Chinese from English, Japanese and Korean.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Yes, completely FREE!

What's more, no ads and no in App purchase.
[Android Apps and Games] dangkhoihoang90:
Thank you for the app. I want to learn Chinese and I just install it. Good job. But what is the symbol "v" in some word?
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks. Hope ChineseSkill make Chinese learning easy, efficient and fun.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, thanks for your message here.

Could you please tell me which language version do you use, English, Japanese or Korean? Did you choose the Pinyin Only model? Or could you please give me a screenshot where the symbol "v" appears?

Thanks for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] sengymobile:
Great learning app. Looking for Japanese too.
[Android Apps and Games] biggerthanbigger:
I logged in on both phone and tablet but the progress doesn't sync. Isn't this the purpose of the login feature?
[Android Apps and Games] biggerthanbigger:
Hi, OP,

emailed you.

:)
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, there! Thanks for your kind words.

ChineseSkill now supports learning Chinese from English, Japanese and Korean.

Sorry for that.
[Android Apps and Games] Joycekyle:
I love the logo, so cute. And the app is also nice.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:

[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Does the sync function work normally now?
[Android Apps and Games] iwatchandroid:
Thanks!

Sadly bye bye Rosetta Stone!
[Android Apps and Games] materialdesign:
would suggest an option to disable spoken exercises for when you cannot allow the sound to play
[Android Apps and Games] marcojrfurtado:
Really cool
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, could you please try to turn off sound in Settings?
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks.

BTW, have you passed the first skill?

Your feedback is very important for us.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] pizzaandmore:
Would be better if Everything was given a translation. Some phrases are marked correct or wrong, but doesn't give you the translated phrase.
[Android Apps and Games] Illogi.xbone:
Installed this app before I did a factory reset. I am dating a Chinese woman and I would like to surprise her and make it easier for her to speak to me in Chinese. From my experience the app works very well, will re-install soon! Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] ApriliaM3:
Thread closed until further notice... mainly so the OP stops creating new accounts to give bogus positive feedback for his app :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for your message.

Finally we got rewards and compliment from our Pinyin section.

Please feel free to let us know, if you have any feedback or suggestion for ChineseSkill.
[Android Apps and Games] Danae1:
I love your program! It is the first app (I've tried so many) to get me motivated to learn in my free time and get practice speaking it. However there is just one thing I would like to be able to do....copy the vocab so I can have a master list, is there a list available?
[Android Apps and Games] resettailor:
Bug report:

I have downloaded all the material, but the pinyin's in the last row do not work. The word pops up, but nothing is heard when you touch the word.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for you message.

Do you mean that it will be good to have a notebook in this app which allows you to copy some vocab or anything text you like?

Mmmm, sounds great. We might add this function in the next update.

If you have any feedback, please leave me a message here.

Thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] zoeyellow:
I'm learning mandarin now and this is very helpful! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi,

Thanks so much for your report!

Could you please tell me what device you use?
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, zoeyellow, how is your Mandarin learning going? I hope everything goes well.

And if you have any feedback, could you please let us know?

Thanks so much!
[Android Apps and Games] kaikai1:
I'm gonna try it out... I have no idea of chinese, but I've always been interested... Guess I'm a potential user of this﻿
[Android Apps and Games] resettailor:
iPad Mini.

Instead of showing 'Bravo' in the success window , I think the translation of the filled sentence is more helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, Resettailor, thanks for your detailed and wonderful suggestion. Yes, we will consider making the popup bar much more helpful in the next update.
[Android Apps and Games] resettailor:
Another suggestion: when giving a wrong solution in pinyin please provide the correct solution in pinyin, too.

Thanks and keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] biggerthanbigger:
Very clean and well design! Great little program!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, resettailor, we did provide pinyin answer when users giving a wrong answer. You can't find it? Or could you please give me a screenshot when you met this problem next time?

Thanks soooo much!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for your compliment, biggerthanbingger.

If you have any suggestion or feedback, feel free to leave a message here. I will response ASAP.
[Android Apps and Games] biggerthanbigger:
I have spent three weeks in China just knowing "ni hao" and "xiè xie". Two days into ChineseSkill and I'm already recognizing some written words. Thank you Chineseskill! You really have created a wonderful and engaging learning experience!
[Android Apps and Games] biggerthanbigger:
BTW, kids were fighting over who gets to play with it!

Congratulations!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
WOW, so happy to hear that!

Cool!
[Android Apps and Games] resettailor:
My answer should also be accepted.
[Android Apps and Games] materialdesign:
That's great! I was really waiting for this - I'll give it a try as soon as I can.

Quick question: do you know the approximate size of the vocabulary covered by the app?
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
I am so sorry that our App is not smart enough to recognize all correct answers. So I decided to make a " I was right " button for users submitting answers in the next update. Hope this function could solve this problem better.
[Android Apps and Games] summerkiss:
I really love this app!! For starting out with basics and common phrases that come up in simple conversation, this is great! I would like to see eventually added on is vocal response....What I mean by that is that the learner would use the mic and either repeat phrases or see an English sentence and would have to translate it back in Chinese. I think this would help the learning process, and help with making sure our pronunciation is appropriate. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi,

Thanks for your support. How is your experience with ChineseSkill?

Here’s what you will be getting out of ChineseSkill, at no cost to you at all:

- 50+ Chinese conversational topics

- 150+ Chinese grammar structures

- 200+ sentence patterns

- 1000+ key words and phrases

- 1500+ essential Chinese characters

Feel free to let us know if you have any feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Thanks for your love! We are all encouraged!

Well, I like vocal response too. However, it requires some speech recognition tech. We are working on it. But it take some time. Please keep patient before we release a new ChineseSkill with speach recognition.

Thanks again for your love and suggestion.

Please feel free to give me your feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
We have received many bug reports from Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and we will try to get a Note 2 to test. Sorry for the inconvenience and hope we could will solve the problems ASAP.
[Android Apps and Games] Ulrica:
ChineseSkill rocks!

I love the character matching sections but wish that the program told me what each specific individual character represents.
[Android Apps and Games] Cassiel2:
please add possibility to go further not to answer question. some models of phones don't show answers properly, but grey "check" button make it impossible to skip this question.
[Android Apps and Games] ChineseSkill:
Hi, Ulrica,

Thanks for your wonderful suggestion. We will consider that.
