Hi, when you get to an exercise that requires challenge mode be off or on such as "write the words you read" it''ll then allow you to toggle it off and on.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.
When I get to the typing parts it will not allow me to disable. Whether online, Android, or desktop fluenz. However, I have fluenz Spanish and there is no problem with challenge mode. Could it only be an issues with Mandarin or perhaps I'm missing something? I wish I could send a screenshot to demonstrate

Sorry for the confusion, I should have mentioned that there is no use for Challenge Mode in Mandarin. The tone marks will always be required in order to continue when writing. We thought about this long and hard. Without tones no one, not a single person will understand what you're saying. For example, the letters MA have five different meanings depending on the tone used to pronounce it, ranging from horse to mother--if you use one tone you're saying mother, another you're saying horse. There is just no way of learning the tones and it is the single most important challenge for westerners learning Chinese
