How It Works
Learn New Characters
Each lesson introduces you to a set of new Chinese characters, along with their meanings and readings.
Practice with Spaced Repetition
You'll be quizzed on what you’ve learned using spaced repetition, a powerful method that helps you remember things long-term by reviewing them at just the right time.
Master and Level Up
Once you've successfully passed all the characters in your current level, you level up! Each level builds on the last, taking you step by step from HSK 1 to HSK 6 in reading.
