About HanziBee: Learn Chinese
HanziBee helps you learn Mandarin Chinese vocabulary and remember it. Every word you add is scheduled with FSRS, a modern memory model, so you review it right before you would forget it. REVIEW Look at the word, reveal the answer and tell HanziBee how it went: two buttons, no guesswork. Example sentences come with pinyin and translation, a daily goal keeps your streak honest, and words you keep forgetting are flagged so you can give them extra work. LISTEN Play a clip and pick the word you heard. Clips come from the words due today, at normal or 0.75× speed, and anything you mishear twice comes back as its own set. READ Graded stories from HSK 1 to HSK 7–9, each with comprehension questions. Tap any word for its meaning, then add it to a deck in one more tap. Pinyin on or off. WRITE Draw each character with your finger. HanziBee checks every stroke against the real stroke order, and Show me plays it back when you get stuck. Writing has its own review schedule. GRAMMAR AND PARTS OF SPEECH HSK words show their part of speech. HSK 1–5 stories point out the grammar and set phrases they use, such as 因为…所以… and 虽然…但是…; tap an underlined word for a short explanation. DECKS Start with the HSK 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 deck, HSK 7–9 (a free download) or a topic deck, or build your own. Paste a word list, for example from Pleco or Anki, and every word links to its full dictionary entry. PROGRESS See your streak, the cards you reviewed this week, month or year, your accuracy in vocabulary, listening, reading and writing, and how many words you know. WIDGETS Your words on the home screen and the lock screen. YOURS, OFFLINE HanziBee works without an account and without a connection: your learning stays on your device. Sign in with email, Apple or Google to keep your progress and sync it across devices. No ads, no tracking. Also in Vietnamese, with Vietnamese meanings. Dictionary data: CC-CEDICT (CC BY-SA 4.0), Make Me a Hanzi, HSK word lists and Tatoeba example sentences (CC BY 2.0 FR). Licences are listed in the app under You → Licences.
What’s new
Version 2.2.0 · Updated November 1, 2026
Speaking practice • Read a passage aloud and see what you said. Your phone's speech recognition writes it down: matching characters turn green, and anything different is underlined in red. • Listen to one sentence at a time, then say it back. Tap Try again as often as you like. • Every sentence in a passage now has its own recording, and the sentence being read is highlighted as it plays. • Find Speaking in the Practice list on Home, or tap the microphone in any reading passage. A new Home • Your streak, the past week and today's goal, together at the top. • Each day of the week is a honeycomb cell that fills with honey on the days you study. • Reading, listening, speaking, writing and vocabulary in one Practice list. HanziBee only listens while you tap Speak, and it keeps neither the recording nor the text.
