Sixty everyday Mandarin sentences, printed on the page and grouped into five situations you will actually be in: greetings and introductions, ordering food, getting around, shopping and paying, and time and dates. Each one carries the characters, tone-marked pinyin, English, audio you can tap, and a note on when it is the right thing to say. Nothing here is generated — every tone mark was checked by hand.
A sentence you can translate is not yet a sentence you can use. 你好 works at any hour, which is why you hear it far more than 早上好. 您好 is right for an elder, a teacher, or a customer, and stiff between friends. 你叫什么名字？ is normal with peers but blunt to a stranger, where 请问，您贵姓？ fits better. The note under each sentence is that difference, not a restatement of the English.
Tone marks follow the standard textbook convention, which is deliberately not the same as how a sentence is spoken. 一 and 不 sandhi is written in — yì bēi, yíxià, bú qù — because those changes belong to the word. Third-tone sandhi is not: 你好 stays nǐ hǎo even though you say ní hǎo. Neutral finals carry no mark at all — míngzi, xièxie, duìbuqǐ, dōngxi — and pinyin is word-grouped (xīngqīyī, huǒchēzhàn) rather than split syllable by syllable.
The sixty printed sentences carry no HSK level on purpose: that space holds the usage note instead, which tells you more about a sentence you are about to say than a band number would.
Several sentences repeat a frame you can refill all day. 请问，…在哪儿？ locates anything. 我要… orders or buys it. 多少钱？ prices it. 可以…吗？ asks permission. Learn the frame, swap the noun, and sixty sentences quietly become a few hundred.
When you have a particular word in mind, the search box above the reference pulls graded examples for it from the dictionary with HSK levels attached, so you can stay at your level or take one step above it. Export what you keep as CSV for Anki in five shapes: hanzi on the front, an English prompt for recall, a cloze that hides the searched word, pinyin typing for tone practice, or the plain sentence table.
Read a sentence, play it, then say it — and change one detail so it is about you. Take that version into live Chinese speaking practice, check it with the Chinese Sentence Lab when you are unsure, soften it in the Polite Chinese Rewriter, drill the tone transitions in the Mandarin Tone Pair Trainer, or open the index of free Chinese learning tools.
Each search returns useful example sentences with tone-marked pinyin, English, audio, and HSK level. Study the sentence as a complete chunk so you learn how the word behaves, not only what it translates to.
You can search either way. Type hanzi such as 觉得 or enter pinyin, and the Sentence Bank returns the same graded examples for matching words.
Yes. Export the result as CSV for Anki or another flashcard app that accepts CSV. Review a few high-value sentences rather than collecting a large deck you will not practice.
Yes. Listen first, repeat the sentence, then change one detail to make it personal. You can also use the examples in live speaking practice with Mei Lin to get comfortable producing them in conversation.
