Frequently asked questions

What is Kango?

Kango is an AI-powered Chinese tutor that helps you practice speaking Mandarin in real conversations. It uses advanced AI to simulate natural dialogues, give instant corrections, and provide pronunciation feedback so you build fluency by speaking.

Who is Kango for?

Anyone learning Mandarin Chinese who wants to actually speak the language — from absolute beginners up through HSK 6. Kango adapts to your level and helps with the part most apps skip: opening your mouth.

How is Kango different from Duolingo or Anki?

Duolingo and Anki focus on recognition — tapping the right answer or recalling a flashcard. Kango focuses on production: you speak full sentences out loud in realistic scenarios, and the AI gives you immediate, in-context corrections on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

Do I need to know any Chinese already?

No. Kango starts at zero — basic pinyin, tones, and survival phrases — and scales up through HSK levels. If you already speak some Chinese, it picks up where you are.

Does Kango teach Simplified or Traditional characters?

Simplified Chinese (the script used in mainland China and Singapore). If you're learning Traditional characters for Taiwan or Hong Kong contexts, most of the spoken content still applies, but the displayed characters will be Simplified.
