GoChinese offers an unprecedented selection of learning and teaching features - all in an easy-to-use, online platform.

With GoChinese, learning materials are contributed or customized by all participants in the learning process - publishers, authors, instructors and learners. GoChinese brings to life any preset or user-created learning materials by auto-generating voice output, Hanyu Pinyin, English definitions and both character forms for all text. This support is essential for learning a non-phonetic, non-alphabetic language such as Chinese.
