    Try Yaya for your Chinese Learning (it's built by my husband David) !Yaya is a language learning webapp where you learn by reading - it is still the beta version so expect bugs! ;) Reading compelling content is one of the most effective ways to learn another language. And it's fun! Give a creative topic or prompt, and it uses AI to generate a dialog, story, article, or other fun types of content with sentence-by-sentence translations at any reading level. You can also upload your own texts (so you can study with whatever reading you want!). Yaya will get you tackling that novel you've been wanting to read much sooner in your learning journey. Try it!
