Arch Chinese
is a premier Chinese learning system crafted by Chinese teachers in the United States for Mandarin Chinese language learners at K-12 schools and universities. It offers a rich set of features with a slick and easy-to-use user interface and is designed specifically for English speakers who have little to no knowledge of Mandarin Chinese. The features of the system are distilled from user feedback and feature requests from the Chinese learning community. We also consult with Chinese teaching professionals from preschools to universities to incorporate their suggestions and ideas.
Arch Chinese
has become one of
the most popular Chinese learning systems
in the United States and many other countries around the world. Our ultimate goal is to provide a unique, high-quality learning system to help Chinese language learners around the world study Mandarin Chinese in a practical, effective, and enjoyable manner.
On
Arch Chinese
, you can:
View
Stroke order animations
for
ALL
Chinese characters defined in the national standard character set of mainland China and 8,000 frequently-used characters in the traditional Chinese character set for the Taiwan and Hong Kong standard.
Listen to high-quality, native-speaker recordings for every character, stroke of the characters, word (character compound), and example sentence in the system! We strongly believe that while learning a new language, the learners should listen to authentic, human voices, not machine-generated or synthetic voices.
