A Vietnamese pronunciation app that shows you your voice

Most language apps grade you right or wrong. This one draws what your voice did, next to what a native speaker's did, and lets you see the gap.

The six Vietnamese tone contours

Why a curve and not a score

A score tells you that you failed. It does not tell you which way you failed, and pitch has two directions. Told "wrong", most learners try harder — louder, slower, more tense — which usually makes it worse.

A curve tells you that you started too low and did not rise far enough. That is actionable in one attempt, and it is exactly what you cannot hear about yourself.

What is in it

What it does not do

No leagues, no XP. A points counter goes up whether or not you learned anything, so it means nothing. The app does count how many days in a row you have studied, but missing one costs nothing: the count quietly starts again at one, with no message about what was lost. What the app measures is something else: how well you did on material you had never seen before.

That number can go down. That is honest, and a real regression should be visible.

Free, offline, and it works without an account

All 202 chapters, the voice measurement, the review queue: free, and they work with no network. Without a subscription, 5 lessons a day; with one, as many as you like. An account only exists so your progress survives a lost phone and follows you between devices. Nothing is locked behind it.
