Hourly Hanzi: Learn Chinese

Learn throughout the day with lock screen & home screen widgets!

Learn Chinese one word at a time with Hourly Hanzi.

Build HSK & TOCFL vocabulary through Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, scheduled notifications, native Mandarin audio, pinyin, natural example sentences, flashcards, quizzes, and smart practice.

LEARN THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY

Choose how new words reach you: glance at a fresh word on your Lock Screen or Home Screen, or set scheduled notifications on your own cadence. Quiet hours keep reminders on your schedule.

GO FROM PINYIN TO HSK/TOCFL

Start with the Foundations course to learn how to read pinyin and hear the four tones. Practice with listening drills, tap-to-build pinyin challenges, and a tone trainer that listens to your voice and traces your pitch.

Then choose your HSK/TOCFL level or take a quick placement. Study vocabulary from HSK 1 through HSK 9, or TOCFL Novice 1 through TOCFL 5, with pinyin, meanings, natural sentence examples, and native Mandarin audio for every word.

REVIEW WHAT MATTERS

Mark words as seen, revisit them with smart practice, and save tricky words to your personal flashcard deck. Short quizzes reinforce each lesson, while history and progress tracking help you follow your learning.
