Free tier: 5 daily practice sessions. No credit card required.

Built for the sounds learners get stuck on

ToneBest focuses on one thing: pronunciation. No fluff, no full curriculum — just drills, scoring, and feedback that actually points out what to fix.

Minimal-pair drills

Practice tone pairs like mā / má / mǎ / mà side by side, so your ear and mouth learn the difference — the fastest way to break habit errors.

Pitch-curve visualisation

Record yourself and watch your pitch rise, fall, and dip compared to a native model — you don't guess, you see what your voice is doing.

Pronunciation scoring

Optional native-language guidance highlights the sounds your first language makes you miss — so you train what matters for you.

Frequently asked questions

Who is ToneBest for?

Any adult learner of Mandarin (simplified) who wants to fix their pronunciation — whether you're a beginner or preparing for an HSK speaking test. Content and guidance are presented in English and Vietnamese.

Is this a full Chinese course?

No. ToneBest deliberately focuses on one thing: pronunciation and tones. If you need grammar, reading, or vocabulary, pair ToneBest with your existing course or textbook — we make the part everyone skips actually work.

How does the speech scoring work?

You record short words or phrases in your browser. ToneBest scores your pronunciation and shows you a pitch curve of your recording compared to a native reference, so you can see and fix the problem.

What happens if I'm not satisfied?

We offer a straightforward refund policy — see our Refund Policy page. If something is wrong, email us and we'll make it right.
