Learn beginner Mandarin through illustrated scenes and guided audio. Hear Chinese words in context, read pinyin and practise vocabulary for travel and daily life.
I made a small site called PicYu for learning Chinese through pictures and audio. You can tap things in a picture, hear the Chinese words and example sentences, then try a little practice.
Start with breakfast. Tap the buns in the bamboo steamer to hear 包子 (bāozi) and 我要两个包子 (“I would like two steamed buns”). The Chinese characters, pinyin, and English explanation sit beside the picture.
If you're an adult just starting Chinese and can follow English guidance, give the breakfast lesson a try. It opens in your browser without an account or payment. It might be a place to start if you're getting ready to travel or live in China.
After trying the breakfast lesson, would you want to learn another scene this way? Why?
I'd like to hear how it felt to use. Your feedback will help me decide whether to keep building PicYu and what to change next.
