- Mandarin learners practising pinyin pronunciation
- Worth noticing
- Its sample feedback separates initials, finals, and tones, while treating missed microphone input as “we did not catch that,” not a learner error.
Field notes
The pinyin table lays out initials against finals and leaves unused combinations visible, treating omissions as part of the lesson rather than hiding them. Its tone section contrasts mā, má, mǎ, mà, and ma, and argues that the second and third tones differ by where the turn happens. The page says the listening trainer remains in development; tone pairs, sandhi, contrast pairs, HSK volume, and connected speech are listed as paid depth.
