What is Sensoba?

Sensoba is a learning app that teaches you Chinese from absolute beginner level ("superbeginner"), all the way to fluency.

It's an immersion program anyone can do from home, which uses engaging videos (using something called "comprehensible input"), coupled with exercises backed by scientific research to help you learn as fast as possible.

Sensoba is different than other language learning apps and courses, because...

It's actually useful

Sensoba teaches you things YOU actually need for your life. Not just a generic list of popular words and phrases.

If you're planning a trip to China to see the Great Wall, you'll learn words related to travel and tourism.

If you're trying to communicate with your Chinese in-laws, you'll learn daily life and family words, phrases, concepts, and cultural notes specific to China.

It's real

Sensoba teaches you the language as it's actually used by native speakers in real life, not a "textbook" version of the language.

You'll learn slang. You'll learn swear words. You'll be able to understand and use the language the way it's really used.

It's based on science

We're actively engaged in linguistics and cognitive science literature to make sure we're teaching our students as fast as possible.

Some apps claim to be "based on neuroscience," but cite only low-quality research, or papers written 100+ years ago!

Our team of nerds dives deep into the latest research on language acquisition, and incorporates it into the app as soon as possible.

We're constantly getting feedback on our own students' progress, and using that data to further optimize our algorithm.
