The words were there. The tones changed under pressure.
ChickyTutor lets you repeat the whole thought, keeping the sound connected to something you genuinely wanted to say.
Small speaking loops make tones and measure words part of a useful message rather than an isolated drill.
Tell Chicky where to start
“Practice a Mandarin food-ordering roleplay. Correct tones in short phrases and repeat the corrected sentence once.”
Change the scene, the level or the correction focus whenever you want. The tutor follows the new brief.

Can I try it without subscribing?
Yes. Guests can have a five-minute voice conversation in the browser. You do not need to enter card details.
Does ChickyTutor replace a human Mandarin teacher?
