Subject-Verb-Object — the same word order as English. Sentence structure clicks quickly.
Pinyin uses the Latin alphabet to spell out Chinese sounds. Read and type Chinese from day one.
Characters are built from reusable building blocks called radicals. Learn the patterns, unlock thousands of words.
