Du Chinese: Graded Reading, 10% Student Savings.
Du Chinese offers a specialized Schools Program that provides a significant discount for classroom use, alongside a general student discount code for individual learners. In 2026, they continue to focus on making Mandarin literacy accessible through tiered group pricing that can reduce the cost per student by over 90% compared to standard individual subscriptions.
Individual Discount:Â Use the promo code "WeLoveChinese" at checkout on the Du Chinese website for 10% off. Have your teacher fill out the School Request form to request a free trial for the entire class. Once verified, schools can purchase annual licenses at a 90%+ discount (based on the number of students). Use your school-issued email to log in once your teacher has added you to the institutional dashboard.
"Wait for back-to-school tech deals for better prices."
Du Chinese isn't just a paid app. Every day, they release a "Daily Lesson" that is free for 24 hours. Additionally, they have a permanent library of Newbie and Elementary lessons that never require a subscription. For a casual learner, checking the app daily for the free story is a $0 way to maintain your reading habit.
If you are an individual student and cannot get your school to sponsor a license, always choose the 12-month plan. At $119.99 USD/year, it is roughly 33% cheaper than paying the $14.99 monthly rate over the same period.
