What it actually is
A free chart where you click any initial-final combination to hear it in each tone, with short video lessons on the sounds English speakers get wrong (zh/ch/sh vs j/q/x, the ü vowel, the third-tone sandhi). Working through this before you memorise vocabulary saves months of fossilised pronunciation errors. It is a reference tool, not a course, so pair it with feedback from a teacher or tutor.
