Hanlo is an Android app for adults practising Mandarin Chinese for everyday situations. Users describe what they want to say and receive Chinese text, pinyin and English explanations. They can listen to model audio, record and replay themselves, and save a practice plan or resume a conversation. The teacher’s style and explanation detail are customizable.

For example, learners can prepare phrases for dinner with a Mandarin-speaking partner’s family or practise asking a colleague to repeat an instruction. The app supports listening and self-recording practice; it does not score pronunciation.

The free tier includes five teacher replies and ten new audio generations per day, two active plans and the full Coffee Ordering plan. Cached audio can be replayed without a daily limit. Additional content and higher allowances are available through the optional paid Plus plan.
