Is this better than Duolingo for Mandarin Chinese daily conversations practice?

Duolingo Mandarin cannot simulate real tonal conversation practice where tone errors change word meaning entirely Lucy provides full unscripted conversation at 600ms latency with no lesson rails or XP pressure, specifically for the kind of real scenario practice that Duolingo cannot replicate.

How long is a typical daily conversations practice session?

A daily conversations practice session typically runs 2 to 10 minutes. You can end it at any time or keep going as long as you want. Lucy adapts to your pace.
