A 2-minute check
Pronounce a handful of words you already know — never vocabulary above your level, so all your attention stays on the sound, not the meaning.
Listen first
Mandarin tone coach
Your Chinese is good. Your tones give you away.
Say five words — get a syllable-by-syllable report: which tones, initials and finals make native speakers squint, and a 5-minute daily plan that fixes exactly those.
2 minutesNo sign-upWords you know
Four short steps
From “say that again?” to a voice that lands.
No generic score and no beginner vocabulary detour. Shengly listens, explains the movement, then trains only what your voice needs.
A syllable-level report
Every syllable is graded on three axes — tone, initial, final. Not a vague “75%”, but “your 3rd tone doesn’t rise” and “your ü is an u”.
Know the cause
Five minutes a day
Daily drills built only from your weak sounds, in words you know. Short daily reps beat long rare sessions — that’s how pronunciation actually settles.
Train your weak spots
Re-test and see change
The check stays free. Run it weekly and watch the weak sounds turn green one by one.
Make progress visibleYour voice has a shape
See the movement, not just the mistake.
Every tone is a contour. Shengly compares your voice with the target and tells you where the movement breaks down.

Who this is for
You know Chinese. Your mouth just needs a coach.
Shengly sits beside your existing course. It does not ask you to begin again.
“I can read it. I understand it. But when I speak, people ask me to repeat.”
You’re already learning with Duolingo, HelloChinese, a textbook or a tutor. The missing layer is not more vocabulary — it is clear, controlled pronunciation.
