The pinyin and audio on the Chinese lessons in LingQ is frequently incorrect.

I love LingQ so far and I have no intention to stop using it anytime soon, but there is a major problem with the quality of the Chinese lessons. They pinyin is frequently wrong and the audio playback will often fail to read an entire phrase or sentence out loud. It will instead play half of a word, or just one syllable in a dual-syllabic word. This is quite frustrating. I find myself using Google Translate and an online dictionary to triple check the pinyin and pronunciation to make sure I get it right. This is a mild waste of time. Apparently I am not the only person with this complaint. As a concept though, LingQ is amazing. It is an incredible tool that has certainly helped my in learning Mandarin Chinese. Though it would be great if this were fixed.

Try this add‑on that offers an AI dictionary and tts. I also used to hop between a translator, a dictionary, and LingQ to find the correct meaning, so I made this add‑on to solve that problem.
