Mandarin conversation practice, any time

The hardest part of getting conversational in Mandarin is finding someone patient to practice with as often as you need. A tutor costs money and lives on a schedule. A language exchange partner has their own life.

Parlita gives you a Mandarin conversation partner that's always available, never judges a mistake, and adjusts to exactly your level. It speaks, listens, and corrects you in context. Mandarin has no conjugations or genders. The work is in the tones, which is exactly why saying it aloud early beats silent study. Warm up with the phrases below, then open the demo and have a real exchange.

Your first Mandarin phrases
你好nǐ hǎohello
谢谢xièxiethank you
我叫…wǒ jiào…my name is…
你好吗?nǐ hǎo ma?how are you?
再见zàijiàngoodbye

These are the exact phrases your first session teaches, and you'll use them in a real conversation, not just read them. Try it in the demo.

Common questions
Can I practice Mandarin speaking out loud?

Yes. You talk, it listens and replies, and you go back and forth like a real conversation. You can also type if you're somewhere you can't speak.

Will it correct my mistakes?

It does, but gently and in context, then quietly adds what you missed to your review deck so it comes back at the right time. Mandarin is simpler in grammar than people expect, no verb conjugation or plurals, with tones being the part that needs your ear early.

Is this good for shy beginners?

Especially. There's no person on the other end to be embarrassed in front of, which is exactly what gets most people talking sooner.
