SpeakUp Mandarin — an AI tutor that hears your tones and corrects them
A speaking-first Mandarin course for Indonesian learners. Every lesson is said out loud, corrected on the spot, and scheduled back for review before it fades.
SpeakUp Mandarin teaches Mandarin to Indonesian learners — a conversation-first path from zero to holding a real conversation.
Indonesian learners memorise vocabulary for months and still freeze the moment they have to speak. The gap is not knowledge, it is mouth time: nothing in a conventional course makes you say the word out loud and tells you whether the tone landed.
We built the practice partner rather than another lesson library. SpeakUp AI listens to every attempt and corrects tone and pronunciation in the moment — patient, unlimited, awake at 2am. The curriculum around it is written to end in speech: each chapter drives at a conversation instead of a vocabulary list, and review is scheduled by the forgetting curve rather than by the calendar.
Marketing site, curriculum, and product run on one Next.js codebase. A change to the method reaches the lesson and the page that sells it in the same deploy.
- 01SpeakUp AI holds a conversation at the learner’s level and corrects the faults Indonesian speakers actually make — tone, zh/ch/sh, and -n against -ng endings.
- 02Curriculum aligned to HSK 3.0, with hanzi coloured per tone and pinyin the learner switches off as their ear improves.
- 03Spaced repetition returns a word at the moment it is about to be forgotten; streaks and daily speaking minutes carry the habit between sessions.
