Nice to meet you!

That's too expensive!
Can you provide samples?

Meet the two you'll learn with.

The same supplier from the first hello to the factory visit, and a coach who explains every step.

HE'LL ASK YOU

What's your name?

Chen Ming

Your supplier for the whole course: sales manager at an insulated-bottle factory. When he talks too fast, you'll say:

Please speak a little more slowly.

The polite "you". Use it with Manager Chen.

For people you know well.

Nuriyour coach

An otter in a blue scarf. Explains why Chinese says it that way, marks what to fix, and never makes you feel slow.

Stuck? Tap it on any screen and Nuri explains.

Nine chapters, from your first word to the factory floor.

Each stop is a real situation with Chen, and a line you'll say there, taken from the lessons.

Then you're on your own.

Each lesson ends with a check you do without help, and each basics chapter with a conversation with Chen. So you always know what you can say yourself.

Why not just use a translation app?

It gets the words across. It can't make you sound polite, catch a wrong number by ear, or keep the talk going while you type.

WITH A TRANSLATION APP
Could it be a little cheaper?

Translating…

  • You hold up your phone, and he reads your screen.
  • You can't tell whether it sounds polite or pushy.
  • You can't check a price or a date by ear.
  • The conversation waits while you type.
WITH TACY
Could it be a little cheaper?
Short and friendly. You're asking, not demanding.
  • You say it yourself, face to face.
  • You know when to use 您 nín, the polite "you".
  • You hear 十四 shí / sì (14) and 四十 sì / shí (40) apart before it costs you.
  • Every line comes with why it's said that way.

Short lessons. Real conversations.

Tap, listen, speak and get it right, then use it with Chen. Every phone below is a real screen from the app.

Built to be right

Every sentence checked before it reaches you.

In business, a wrong number or a rude word costs real money. So the course is written and reviewed ahead of time, not made up on the spot.

  • Every Chinese sentence and its pinyin approved by a native speaker.
  • Prices, quantities and dates stay the same from lesson to lesson, checked automatically.
  • AI only helps with your own messages and practice. It never rewrites the course.
