Learn Mandarin by actually writing it.

This app is a practice and reinforcement tool for Mandarin learners who want to strengthen character recognition, handwriting accuracy, and sentence comprehension. Instead of memorizing flashcards, you learn by doing — drawing characters, receiving instant feedback, and reinforcing what you’ve already learned.

Key features:

Practice writing Mandarin characters with a responsive drawing canvas

Improve character shape, proportion, and visual accuracy

Instant feedback on your writing attempts

Pinyin recognition and disambiguation for visually similar characters

Sentence-building exercises to reinforce meaning and grammar

Progress tracking by level, including HSK-aligned content

Clean, distraction-free design focused on deliberate practice

Designed for learners who already have some exposure to Mandarin and want a better way to retain and refine it. This app helps turn repetition into measurable progress.
