User Reviews for Immersive Chinese

Pure joy

After 15 years of frustration with tutors, classes, textbooks, workbooks, flash cards, audio courses, translators, dictionaries (okay except Pleco), and umpteen apps that claim to teach Chinese, with Immersive Chinese I've been more motivated and have made more progress in just a few weeks, especially reading and listening, and even recalling and writing characters. The interactive drill format, incremental introduction of vocabulary, and real-life sentences that teach grammar implicitly without a word of linguistic jargon, are truly ingenious. The lack of irrelevant graphics, animations, gaming, stories, cultural diversions and other distractions let me focus on building language skills and experience the pure joy of learning.

You got it & easy to learn: Chinese

Yes…language learning should include many approaches best for you (at least several). If you could only do one.., this is it.! You got it in the palm of your hand. “Immersive Chinese” … the best app in the market place. Fast, Easy, affordable results. Step by step “usable language” that flows from level to level… Real-World results. Kudos to Immersive Chinese 加油！

A very useful resource

This is a very well done app! The interface is very clean and easy to use, even on the go. The recordings are very clear and recorded consistently. Most important here is there is no extraneous content, like music or intro nonsense. So it is pure listening content with no wasted time. What I like most is that there is lots of variations in sentence construction, like you might run into in real life. Also lots of settings to control auto repeat and delays so that you can get the most out of listening time. A very well constructed learning tool that I really enjoy using. I highly recommend this app!

Great potential

There were some fantastic initial videos with a fantastic talented Chinese teacher — absolutely the best one! — shared and advertised on yt leading to this app, which were indeed immersive. Because of them, I was expecting that this app will continue those immersive lessons. And I was waiting for it, ready to buy it once it was available.Unfortunately it turned out to be difficult and expensive for the app creator to continue with such wonderful immersive videos and she changed the form to just audio.And this app is, well, not that immersive... Anyway I wanted to use the occasion to send special thanks to the teacher from those videos - you really can teach people that beautiful language like no one else! If you get better opportunities in the future to continue those initial video lessons, I’d be quite interested... :)cheers!

Good potential, but one big issue

The app seems good for listening practice, but the forward / back arrows (or swiping) do not work in auto play, which is a big issue for this type of app. When you couldn’t hear or understand something, there needs to be a quick and easy way to go back to that card (especially when using it while exercising, etc).I contacted the developer and he responded quickly, but said that it was too difficult to get those buttons to work correctly on iOS, so they disabled them instead…

This is in my trifecta of Apps for learning Chinese

Du Chinese, Pleco Dictionary (obviously) and Immersive Chinese (this app) are all you need.The Chinese spoken in Immersive Chinese is clear, and easy to understand once you get enough practice in. You can tell a human is speaking and not some robot. I have to admit the tones on a couple words sound off though but that’s not a big deal. I like that the lessons are based on vocabulary so if you want to learn how to use a word just pull up the lesson and listen to the examples over and over. The grammar is all correct so you just have to follow how the app speaks and incorporate it into your own learning. Buying a subscription is a MUST! This app is invaluable for how much content and help it provides.

Excellent for listening and reading!

I have been looking for ways to practice listening and reading and this app is excellent for both while also teaching new vocabulary words. It’s not game-like, like many other language apps but is a perfect compliment to other Chinese learning apps and lessons. I hardly ever write reviews but wanted more people to find this!

Thanks for adding the batch download!

App is amazing thank you for everything. I’m in China traveling for 2 weeks and without this app I wouldn’t understand a thing. Also helps with speech by introducing idiomatic ways of saying things. Still have a lot of work to do and this app will be a big part of it.

A good app for practice, however

The developers should really consider a less generic name for the app. Finding information about it is difficult because the name is a fairly common phrase in language study. The app itself is customizable enough to allow characters/pinyin/audio to be turned on or off as your prefer. First sections are free, full app is $5, which I would say is worth it if you plan on using it to its full potential.

Good app, but what am I paying a subscription for?

The app is fine. I like it. I’d pay for it if it was a one time fee, like most apps used to be. But now everything has to require a subscription. Why do I need to keep paying every month for? What additional value is being provided that it requires a subscription? Sorry but I don’t see it. This app needs a one time payment option.Update: thanks for the lifetime subscription option. Here’s some other things that I hope you can implement in the future:Save and retrieve repetition training criteria - this will make the feature much more usefulBookmarks - right now there’s no easy way to get back to where we last were.English audio translations - this would be very helpful

Repetition Training is a core feature of Immersive Chinese that allows you to play a specific selection of content on a continuous loop according to a number of different settings. You can set the specific time delay before and after each sentence, use normal speed or slow recordings, repeat each sentence a certain number of times, and use a random or sequential order. You can also add custom filters, so you only study the exact material you want to. Give it a try and start making progress today.
