Little Hanzi: Learn Chinese

Explore 500 Chinese characters in 100 themes. Listen, read and follow each stroke. First 10 characters free; one-time permanent unlock for the rest.

Little Hanzi helps children explore 500 common Simplified Chinese characters in 100 everyday themes. Pictures, pinyin and Mandarin pronunciation bring each character into focus, one page at a time.

LOOK, LISTEN AND READ Tap a character to hear it, then explore its words and short example sentences. Browse themes directly from the new home screen and return to your next lesson easily.

FOLLOW EACH STROKE Open tracing from a character page. Numbered starting points, direction cues and a highlighted current stroke guide each step. Watch a demonstration, try again or reset; finishing the writing activity requires drawing the strokes in order. Tracing is optional in the reading journey.

BUILD FAMILIARITY Short activities revisit pronunciation, shape and meaning. Reading stations use characters introduced in the lessons. The character library makes it easy to find and revisit familiar material.

There is no account, subscription or third-party advertising. The parent area recommends other apps from the same developer; external links require an adult check. Designed for iPhone and iPad.

A single non-consumable purchase permanently unlocks lessons 3–100, the remaining 490 characters and their included activities. The App Store displays the price before purchase. Purchases and restoration require the parent check; previous purchases can be restored with the same Apple Account.
