小雨
A short letter in Chinese you can read, about her life in 成都: tea, hotpot, her grandma and a cat called Baozi. Tap any word for its meaning and sound, or press Listen to hear her read it.
Each letter ends on one question and three answers, each a Chinese sentence about you. Pick the true one and it’s sent.
Her next letter answers yours. Words you keep from her letters come back in Review, so what you read sticks.
No. 小雨 (Xiǎoyǔ) is a character we write: a young woman in Chengdu who lives with her grandma and a cat called Baozi, and who is learning English while you learn Chinese. Her letters are written for learners like you, and each one answers the reply you sent her.
Her first letters use only HSK 1 and 2 words, plus a few story words like 成都 and 火锅. Over the first weeks they grow towards HSK 3, a little at a time. Tap any word for its pinyin, meaning and sound, and press English to see a line in English.
One letter each time you write back. Answer today and her next letter is there tomorrow morning. Miss a day and she simply waits: nothing is lost and nothing piles up.
No. Reading her first letter needs no account. Writing back takes a free account, so her answer has somewhere to arrive.
