Best android app to learn "quick Chinese"?

[Icesharpey]

Hello everyone.

 

So as I see there seem to be many teachers, or students - what would you say is the best android app to learn some conversational Chinese + a bit of vocabulary / everyday sentences etc?

 

The Chinese language seems to be a very difficult language to learn, many say it takes over 5 years - and not even fluent after that.

 

I am not looking to write, but speak some, understand some.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello Chinese is good.

I would also recommend HelloChinese. It is very good for speaking and listening but also for reading and writing which although you say you don't want to do, I would suggest you at least become familiar with the characters as it is very useful.

Welcome to the Forum!

 

Does you mission have a focus? For example, will you mainly be using Chinese as a tourist?

Hi there :).

 

Yes, as a tourist, or any light conversation, please.

 

Thank you for welcoming!

See if this might be of some help:

Lonely Planet has something similar. 

 

I don't have access to the Google Play Store to look for actual apps. (It is blocked by the Great Firewall for those of us inside China.) Someone who is currently overseas might be able to help you with that.
