Frequently asked questions

About Shadola’s free Chinese tools.

Are Shadola's Chinese tools free?

Yes. Every Mandarin tool here is free and runs in your browser — no download or sign-up. Only deep analysis, like per-syllable tone scoring and HSK/HSKK mock exams, is Pro.

Do I need an account?

No. The free tools work without an account. You only sign in to save vocabulary, track progress, or upgrade to Pro.

Do they handle tones and Pinyin correctly?

Yes. The Pinyin tools mark every tone, the annotator colors each syllable by tone, and the tone-pair trainer drills your ear — tones are first-class, not an afterthought.

How do the tools connect to speaking?

Each tool links into the Practice Player, where you shadow the sentence and get instant AI feedback on both pronunciation and tones.
