When meeting for the first time

In Standard Chinese, tones are important. When two third tones are together, like nǐ hǎo, the actual sound of the first syllable changes. Don't learn tones with Hangul only—always check the pinyin as well.

Sound options

Choose a voice and play the sample. Availability depends on your device.

If your language voice is missing, you can try browser automatic voice. Stop if the pronunciation sounds wrong.

Your voice choice stays in this browser. Some voices need internet.

Check your media volume and Bluetooth connection. Choose another voice or recheck after enabling the language in your device's speech settings.
