Free Tone Pair Trainer

We are excited to release our free tone pair trainer.

Hearing the Chinese tones is the most challenging part when learning Chinese. The tone pair trainer simple tool to practice hearing the difference between tones and is a great compliment to learning through flash cards.

Anyone embarking on the journey of learning Mandarin Chinese quickly encounters the hurdle of tones. While mastering pronunciation is key, perhaps even more challenging for many is developing the ability to reliably hear the subtle differences between tones when spoken by native speakers.

Traditional learning methods like flashcards are invaluable for vocabulary and character recognition, and they certainly introduce you to pinyin and tones. However, they often don't provide enough focused practice on actively discriminating between tones solely by listening. You see the pinyin, you know the rule, but can you hear it when the visual cues are removed?

That's precisely why we've created and are excited to release our free Tone Pair Trainer!

Our Tone Pair Trainer is a simple, focused online tool designed to give your listening comprehension the specific workout it needs to overcome the tone challenge. It zeroes in on the tricky part: hearing the difference between syllables that sound identical except for their tone.
