Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor. Let’s look round the Teaching Board, where you build a lesson and present it.
A board is a deck of slides, not an endless canvas. Your first board starts as this two-slide HSK 1 lesson.
It saves to your account as you work, so it follows you to another device, and nobody else can open it.
On the left, the content column searches the platform’s own material: words, lessons, grammar, readings, culture and more.
With a teaching seat there’s also a Dialogues tab, which puts a lesson’s dialogue on a slide for role-play.
Chinese is built in. Stroke order plays for the class, and you can step through it one stroke at a time.
Tone cards play native recordings of every tone, in the same voice as the pinyin table.
Your slides sit along the bottom. Add one, duplicate it, or select a thumbnail to go straight there.
When you’re ready, Present takes the slide full screen for your screen-share, and Escape brings you back.
That’s the Teaching Board: a lesson you build once and teach from again. Next, put real Chinese on a slide.
