StayTW — Taiwanese Mandarin

A Taiwan Mandarin app made by a Taiwanese person, for people who want to learn the Chinese that's actually spoken in Taiwan.

Not textbook Chinese, not simplified characters — the Mandarin that works on the streets of Taipei.

■ What's inside
• About 10,000 words: the full official TBCL list, levels 1–6 (the basis of the TOCFL exam), with traditional characters, Zhuyin, pinyin, translation and example sentences
• 526 grammar points, including all 496 official TBCL points, each with an explanation and examples
• 61 articles + 28 graded readings about real life in Taiwan: health insurance, garbage trucks, night markets, typhoon days
• Everyday phrases for night markets, the MRT, renting, seeing a doctor and work
• Taiwan-accent audio for words, example sentences and articles

■ How you learn
• Lessons: 3 minutes, 6–8 words each. Listen, choose, build sentences, say them out loud. Missed words go straight to review
• AI Chat: pick a scene (bubble tea shop, night market, clinic, flat hunting…) and a level. The AI plays the other person, gently corrects you, and every reply comes with Zhuyin and audio
• Shadowing: get a pronunciation score right away, compare your own voice with the model, and slow the audio down
• Listen-and-learn mode, spaced repetition (SRS), TOCFL mock exams, YouTube shadowing, writing feedback, and your own word list

■ Taiwan first
No simplified characters, no mainland readings. Zhuyin and tones follow Taiwan's Ministry of Education (the TBCL word list and the MOE dictionary) — for example, 學生 and 休息 keep their full tones in Taiwan.
The words are the ones you'll actually use: 健保 (health insurance), 房東 (landlord), 垃圾車 (garbage truck), 悠遊卡 (EasyCard).
