Study songs

Listen to the key points.

Each Otter Whistle album turns one subject's core study points into songs (Mandarin vocals). Links open Apple Music; full playback may require a subscription.

Play

Catch the words as the song plays.

Pixel Rounds is an 8-bit lyric game built on the OET textbook songs: the music pauses before a medical term, you catch it from word cards or by spelling, and spaced review brings the lines you nearly forgot back to you. The whole interface and every key point are available in English.
