Hanzi: Chinese Characters

Read and write Chinese, one character at a time. All 3,000 HSK 3.0 characters with pinyin, stroke order and spaced repetition. No streaks, no energy, no subscription.

Hanzi is a drill for reading and writing Chinese characters. It shows one character at a time. You say whether you remembered it, and spaced repetition decides when you see it again.

WHAT IS INSIDE

• All 3,000 characters of the HSK 3.0 character lists, sorted into HSK 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7-9
• Pinyin with tone marks for every character, including second and third readings
• An English meaning for every character
• Stroke order for every character, drawn one stroke at a time with the stroke number
• Spaced repetition with six boxes; characters you miss come back in the same session
• Progress by level, and a day count you are free to ignore

There is no energy to run out and no streak to lose. Miss a day and nothing is taken away from you.
