白板 · Mandarin practice on iOS
Stop memorising Chinese.
Start speaking it.
Order skewers at a night market. Give a taxi driver directions. BaiBan drops you into real Chinese scenes where you read along, tap any word you don't know, and say the lines out loud. Five minutes a day, and you're actually using the language.
Three guided scenes are included. A subscription unlocks more guided scenes and open-ended conversation practice.

The learning gap
Knowing Chinese and using it are different skills.
BaiBan closes the distance between reading a sentence and being able to say it when the moment arrives.
Recognition is not recall
Seeing a familiar word in a deck does not prepare you to retrieve it halfway through a real sentence.
Isolated words lose their setting
Without a speaker, place, and intention, new vocabulary has fewer useful cues when you need it again.
The jump to conversation is too large
Learners are often asked to improvise before they have read, understood, and rehearsed a usable line.
How it works
Read it. Understand it. Say it.
one session ≈ 5 minutes
- Read
Enter a scene you can follow
Start inside an everyday situation, with Mandarin written for your level and enough context to understand what is happening.
- Understand
Resolve the word in place
Select a character to see its pinyin and meaning without leaving the sentence or losing the scene around it.
- Speak
Say a line you already know
Hear the line, hold to speak, and try it yourself. The conversation begins from language you have already understood.
Never leave the page
Unknown words explain themselves.
Select any character and you get the pinyin, the meaning, and a button to hear it, right where you're practising. Save the words worth keeping with one tap.
- No more copy-pasting into a dictionary app.
- Saved words keep the sentence they came from.
Speaking practice
Speak without the blank-page panic.
Most apps drop you into a conversation and hope for the best. BaiBan asks you to say a line you just read and understood, so you build confidence with real sentences instead of guesses. Hear the native pronunciation, try it, try again.
your mic, zero judgement
Review with context
Forget a word? You'll remember the scene.
Every word you add to Vocab comes back for review with the sentence that taught it to you. Instead of a flashcard floating in space, you get “oh right, the night market scene.” That's what makes it stick.
Save selectively
Keep the words that interrupted a real scene, not every word you happen to see.
Keep the sentence
Pinyin, meaning, and the original scene stay attached to the word.
Return with context
Review starts from the situation that made the word useful in the first place.
