Chinese Dictation Buddy demo

Listen to the word, then type what you heard:

图书馆内 请保持安静

Where would you see this sign?

Listen to the short dialogue:

Where does she want to go tomorrow?

Dictation
Hear it, write it.
You hear a word, write what you heard, and see how you did right away. You don't need an account.
Handwriting
Actually write it.
Watch the stroke order, then trace it until it sticks. Reading a character and writing it are different skills.
Flashcards
Hear it. Remember it.
You drill by ear and flip to check. The words you miss come back more often until you know them.
Reading
Real Chinese, not textbook Chinese.
You read real signs and notes and answer in English, exactly like the test. Novice to Advanced, or adaptive.
Listening
Listen, then answer.
Two people talk and you answer a question about what they said. It's the same format as the test, graded when you submit.
Ten minutes
Ten focused minutes.
Ten minutes of recall beats an hour of rereading notes, and it adds up day after day.

STAMP reading & listening

  • The format matches test day: an English context line, a Chinese text or dialogue, and one multiple-choice question.
  • We wrote 500 original questions across Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced.
  • An adaptive mix moves you up a level when you're ready.
  • We write distractors the way real tests do: details that appear in the text but answer a different question.
Try one 请勿践踏草坪

You see this sign in a park. What does it ask?

Try one

Play the word, then type what you heard:

听写 dictation

  • Hear a word, write it, get checked right away.
  • You can type or handwrite, with stroke order played for every character.
  • The study guide fills in pinyin, meanings, and example sentences for any list you paste.
  • Missed words return until you stop missing them.

A realistic timeline.

Sunday night

Quiz tomorrow

You paste this week's word list, hear each word, write it, and check it. The ones you miss come straight back until they stick.

Two weeks out

STAMP on the calendar

You do one reading set and one listening set a day, starting at Novice. You move up a level when it stops feeling hard.

Whenever you want

Manual repetition

There's no algorithm deciding for you. You run the same list again as many times as you want and watch which words still trip you.
