Chat like a natural

How it works

You don’t need all the words.
Just a place to begin.

  1. 01 / Set the scene

    What brings you here?

    A first trip? Your first ever sentence? Tell us what you want to do and what you already know.

  2. 02 / Have a chat

    Try. Pause. Ask.

    Learn with Ning, your Mandarin tutor. Use English when you get stuck. Ask for a hint, a slower explanation, or a new situation.

  3. 03 / Keep it going

    Make the next reply yours.

    Get focused feedback in the conversation, then put it to use. Practical language learning, one exchange at a time.

Your Mandarin, your reason

For the things
you want to say.

No need to invent a study routine. Start with a situation that means something to you.

Find your starting point
Starting from scratch

From “hello” to
“nice to meet you.”

Build your first exchanges with space to make mistakes and help whenever you need it.

Going somewhere

A table for two.
A ticket to somewhere new.

Practise the little conversations that make a trip feel more like being there.

Talking to family

Ask about their day.
Tell them about yours.

Practise Mandarin greetings, asking how someone is, and talking about your day—so you have more to say when you speak with family.

Frequently asked questions

A few things
you might be wondering.

Who is Natterr for?

Beginners and intermediate Mandarin learners. Start with the basics or build on what you already know. Use English when you need to, and ask your tutor for a hint or a simpler explanation.

Which language can I learn?

Natterr is for Mandarin Chinese. Simplified Chinese and English explanations are the starting defaults, with character and pronunciation-guide preferences in the app.

What do we talk about?

The things you want to do: ordering breakfast, finding your train, meeting someone new. Tell your tutor what you want to practise in your own words.

Can I use my usual chat app?

You can connect Telegram for supported Mandarin tutor conversations. WhatsApp is planned; Discord is under consideration. You can also practise in the Natterr web app.

How does payment work?

The app shows the available subscription terms before you pay.

Your next words

You don’t have to sound natural to start.
That’s what the conversations are for.
