Use the test your pronunciation tools on our website to compare your sound to that of native speakers. It takes years of practice to mimic the exact voice of a native speaker. However it’s always productive to see how close you can get even with basic vocabulary. Many users are shocked to hear the recorded sound of their voice since it usually sounds very different than what you hear when you are speaking. Use these tools to learn and improve.

Never be content. There is always room for improvement. Even among the basics, you should always be striving for perfection. Once you have mastered the basics, focus on the details. Perhaps you know how to write a few characters. Then focus on mastering your strokes. With vocabulary you know, there may be room to improve your pronunciation. Sometimes it is good to take a step back and go over what you already know, and see what details you can improve upon, rather than always needing to venture into new territory.
