ChinesePod Decks app for iPhone and iPad

Mandarin dictionary apps and flashcard systems are great for refining the Chinese you know, but if you don’t already speak the language, it’s nearly impossible to learn anything at all! With the ChinesePod Deck app, you can boost your listening and comprehension skills to new levels using the largest library of Mandarin Chinese lessons available today. There are over 4,000 lessons for you to learn from (and they can even be saved to your phone for offline learning!). To effectively learn Chinese you need to fully immerse yourself in the language, not just study for twenty minutes a day on your laptop. Fortunately, with ChinesePod, the opportunity to learn on-the-go is just a click away! Our app is perfect for:



* The casual learner who’s focused on understanding and speaking Chinese
* The traveler looking to perfect their pronunciation before a trip
* The student whose goal is to ace their upcoming HSK exam


Don’t try to learn the language word by word, studying random vocabulary that you’ll never need to know—learn to speak like a native about topics you love! Simple dictionaries leave you sounding like you’re reading a textbook, but ChinesePod offers the immersive experience you need to speak fluently!


"ChinesePod is an incredible resource for mastering spoken Chinese - a vast library of entertaining lessons from a great collection of teachers, all short and friendly enough to squeeze into a busy schedule."
Mike Love | Creator of Pleco


From simple dictionaries and word-by-word translations to complete video lessons right in the palm of your hand, you won’t miss a chance to study Chinese ever again! Every moment is an opportunity to learn with the ChinesePod app. With a ChinesePod.com account, you can even sync the lessons on your phone with your information from the website! We believe the chance to learn a language should be available to everyone, so you can start using the app right away—completely free!
