What the app is and who it suits
YCT2 Learn Chinese Chinesimple is a Chinese study app aimed at the YCT exam, the certification the listing names as its goal. It puts a dictionary, reading and writing lessons, character stroke animations and speaking practice in one app. A tutor named Bingo guides the lessons.
The app suits learners who want to cover vocabulary, characters and speaking in one place while preparing for YCT. The listing presents it as one app in place of several separate Chinese learning tools.
Looking up and learning vocabulary
The vocabulary section works as a Chinese dictionary. You can look up words and study them in the same app as the lessons, without switching to a separate dictionary.
The listing describes the vocabulary as broad, covering the word knowledge the lessons and exercises draw on.
Reading, grammar and writing lessons
The lessons cover reading Chinese and writing it, with detailed explanations. They come with practical exercises on grammar and vocabulary, so each topic can be practised as well as read about.
The stated aim is to build the ability to read Chinese text. The listing treats reading and writing as one skill set in the lessons.
Stroke order and character writing
The app includes more than 4000 animations that show Hanzi stroke order and direction. These are the tool for learning how to write each character correctly, one stroke at a time.
The developer says its character writing follows the real handwriting of a native speaker, and contrasts this with computer-generated animations found in other apps. Character shapes are shown as they are handwritten on paper.
Speaking practice with voice recognition
Pronunciation practice uses voice recognition. You speak Chinese phrases and sentences into the app, and the speech recognition works with what you say.
The listing presents this as a way to build speaking fluency. The exercises use whole phrases and sentences rather than only single words.
