Field notes
The homepage describes a week of encounters, from airport transport and breakfast to buying medicine and sharing dumplings with a local family. Phrases appear as cards with pinyin and English, and the site says a response can change the scene rather than simply mark an answer wrong. Its stated language boundary is specific: spoken standard Mandarin with simplified characters, not Cantonese, other dialects, or handwriting.
