Welcome to Medicine in Mandarin!


UMMS Medical Mandarin


Please excuse the mess (or lack thereof) while we develop this website.

To access lesson materials, please select a lesson above!



Here are some of the things we've implemented recently:

  • Fixing somes bugs in the search engine (Firefox compatibility, redundant search results, not capturing all vocabulary).
  • Adding voice playback functionality.
  • Fixing bug in print layout that caused vocabulary entries to sometimes break in odd places.
  • Back end improvement on modularity of lesson pages.


Here are some of the things we are working on for the website (and ideas we would love to implement):

  • Adding voice playback functionality for practice conversations.
  • Enabling voice playback functionality for mobile devices.
  • Implement non-exact match search.
  • Enabling more control on voice playback functionality.
  • Allowing basic self-testing functionality.
  • Practice flashcards/quizzes dynamically generated based on user preferences.
  • Prettier teaching staff profile layout.
