你好 (nǐ hǎo), my name is Leland — that first line is often all a beginner can say in Mandarin. The Chinese Self-Introduction Builder turns a few simple English facts about yourself into a natural Mandarin intro you can actually speak, with hanzi, pinyin, and English side by side.
Type a few sentences about yourself in English — for example, My name is Leland. I live in San Francisco. I am learning Chinese for family. The tool generates a Chinese self-introduction in your chosen length: 15, 30, or 60 seconds. You get hanzi with pinyin in parentheses and English translations for every line, so you know exactly what you are saying and how to pronounce it.
Once your intro is ready, you can hand it off to Mei Lin for live speaking practice. She listens to you deliver your introduction and responds in conversation — so you rehearse a real exchange, not just a script.
This tool is built for beginners preparing for a first lesson, a class introduction, an HSKK prompt, or a real conversation with Mandarin speakers. You walk away with a complete self-introduction tailored to your own details — not a generic template — plus the pinyin and English you need to practice it confidently.
If you are also building everyday vocabulary, the Chinese Days of the Week Builder helps you learn Monday through Sunday and turn them into simple weekly routines you can say. Once you start stringing sentences together, the Chinese Tone Sandhi Checker shows you how phrases are actually spoken when tones shift in context. You can browse all free SayMei Chinese learning tools for more practice across HSK vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
It takes a few English sentences about you — your name, where you live, why you are learning — and produces a Mandarin self-introduction in hanzi with pinyin and English translations. You can choose a 15, 30, or 60-second length depending on how much you want to say.
No. The tool is designed for beginners. You type your details in English, and it generates the Mandarin for you with pinyin and translations, so you can learn your introduction line by line without any prior vocabulary.
Yes. After the builder creates your Chinese self-introduction, you can hand the result off to Mei Lin for live speaking practice. She responds conversationally, letting you rehearse your intro as part of a real exchange rather than just reading it silently.
Yes — like all SayMei tools, it is free and browser-based with no signup required. You can build your introduction and start practicing with Mei Lin immediately.
