How do I use it on my phone?

Open the page in your browser, tap the address bar and type mandarinthewild.com/ in front of the address, so it starts mandarinthewild.com/https://… Then tap any word. You can also paste the link in the box above.

Is it free?

Yes, with no account and no limit on pages. Save the words you look up with a free account if you want to review them later.

What do I see on a word?

Its pinyin in tone colours, with the tone changes it really takes in that sentence (不是 is búshì), its meaning in that sentence, its HSK level, a Listen button, and the characters inside it.

Can teachers share it with a class?

Yes. Read the article here, press Copy link and post that link in your class: every student opens the same page with every word explained, on any device, with no install and no student accounts.

Which pages work?

Most news sites, Wikipedia, blogs and stories. A page that needs a sign-in, or a site that refuses readers like ours, can’t be read; copy its text and paste it into the reader instead.

What do you keep?

Nothing about you. We keep a copy of the page’s text for an hour so a shared link opens fast, then it’s gone, and these reading pages aren’t shown in search.

Pinyin right on every site, as you browse
