How to play
- You see two columns: a column of speaker buttons on the left and a shuffled column of written Chinese words on the right. There is no English on the board.
- Tap a speaker to hear a Chinese word read aloud — tap it again to replay it as often as you like.
- Then tap the written word you think you heard. A right match turns both tiles green; a wrong one shakes and you can try again.
- Clear all five pairs to move to the next board. Two boards make a round; matches you get right on the first try score the most.
Questions
Is this Chinese listening game free?
Yes — it plays in your browser with no sign-up. Sign in only if you want to save the words to your review deck and track your best score.
Why is there no English in this game?
Sound Pairs trains your ear: you connect the sound of a Chinese word to how it is written, without translating. Listening and spelling are the two skills it practises.
Is there a time limit?
No. Replay any speaker as often as you need — only first-try matches earn the full score.
Can I practise one topic?
Yes. Use the theme picker to draw the words from a single category — animals, food, the home and more.
