About this project
This is a pronunciation practice app focused on Taiwanese Mandarin. It helps learners build confidence by speaking short, practical phrases and receiving immediate feedback.
The short story
My (future) wife is Taiwanese, I promised her that I would propose to her in mother tongue when I first met her. That is a promise I hope to acomplish. I originally started to make this site just a fun way to demonstrate my skills as a componenent Software Engineer as well as learn mandarin (With a focus on Tawianese dialect), and fill in the holes I noticed from other language learning apps that I wanted.
Tech stack
- Next.js (App Router)
- React + TypeScript
- Web Audio / MediaRecorder API
- LocalStorage for progress persistence
- Planned: AI-based pronunciation scoring
