HamHao: Learn Chinese with HSK

Learn Chinese the honest way: tap any character for instant Pinyin, study at your own pace, and start free with HSK 1 — no ads, no subscription, no pressure.

HamHao is a Chinese vocabulary app built to be calm, fair, and free of adds and subscriptions.

• Tap any Chinese character (Hanzi) anywhere in the app to instantly reveal its Pinyin reading.
• Learn at your own pace — no notifications, no spam emails, no streaks to lose, no hearts or stamina systems pressuring you to open the app. Come back whenever you want. Your progress is right where you left it.
• No subscriptions, no ads. HSK 1 is free, forever. Levels 2–6 unlock with a small one-time payment that helps me keep building HamHao (and other apps) — instead of selling your attention to advertisers.
• No data collection and no sharing with anyone. We only store your login and learning progress, so you don't have to start over every time - and we don't share that either. ;)
• Multiple ways to study: Word Practice, Sentence Reading, Flashcards + Custom Decks, Vocabulary Browsing, Text Reading and Pinyin pronunciation — use whichever fits how you learn.
• Built-in learning aids: Pinyin pronunciation throughout, plus a Chinese text reader with Pinyin display and text-to-speech.

If you want to actually learn Chinese without being nagged, gamified, or sold a subscription — give HamHao a try.
