"I've tried everything to learn Chinese. Bought textbooks, watched c-dramas, made my own anki sets. Nothing compares to the progress and experience of using Read Bean. Within just 7 days, I've already noticed a tangible improvement in my reading."

Emily Z
"I'm amazed at how Read Bean has become my favorite app to open when I have a spare moment - it's basically replaced my usual phone games, but instead of just killing time, I'm actually reconnecting with Chinese characters I haven't seen in forever. The way Read Bean teaches through stories about both historical and modern China makes me genuinely excited to practice, and I love that I'm picking up phrases I can actually use in real conversations."

Amy Z
"In Read Bean, the context and level is much higher than any of the other apps I've used. I have a 1500 day streak on duolingo. If you had to ask me to choose today between Read Bean and Duo, I would choose Read Bean."

Lawson K
"Came back after a few updates to check it out again, and if it gives you any idea, I decided to drop my 500+ day Duolingo streak and plan to fully incorporate Read Bean into my new year resolutions! I'm such a big fan now"
