About NetChai Chinese
Who we are
NetChai Chinese is the free English-language learning site of NetChai, an online Chinese school based in Japan. Since our school opened, our native Chinese teachers have taught live one-on-one Mandarin lessons to thousands of students — and this site brings that classroom experience to everyone, one phrase at a time.
What you'll find here
Practical Mandarin, explained the way our teachers explain it in class: the phrase itself, when to use it (and when not to), how to pronounce it, natural variations, and real example sentences — every entry with pinyin and audio.
