With well over one billion speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the world's most commonly spoken language. On this website from the University of Texas at Austin's Center for Open Educational Resources and Language Learning (COERLL), visitors can learn and practice speaking, listening, and reading Mandarin for free. For example, visitors can click on Pronunciation to visit Pitch Perfect Pinyin, a resource that uses interactive exercises to test users understanding of pronunciation and tone. Learners can also access a number of free, interactive flashcards via the Vocabulary section, or watch videos explaining grammatical concepts (through the center's YouTube page) in the Grammar section. Another highlight of this website is the Chinese Dialogues podcast (available via Listening), where learners can practice listening skills on their mobile devices. Collectively, this website provides a diverse collection of resources to help learners of Mandarin build their skills.
