HanziPath: Learn Chinese & HSK

Whether you are starting from zero or can already recognise hundreds of characters, the breakthrough is the same: write them. Recognition and recall are two different memories — and writing is the half that is easiest to skip. HanziPath starts you at pinyin and the very first stroke, so beginners are never lost: trace every hanzi in the classic 田字格 rice grid, lock new vocabulary into long-term memory with spaced repetition, and train your ear with listening drills. The complete HSK 1–6 syllabus, 2,650 characters, 5,299 words and 10,482 audio clips — completely offline, with no account and no ads. ● WRITE, LISTEN, RECOGNISE, SPEAK Writing is where HanziPath starts — but Chinese is not one skill, so it trains all four: • WRITE — 2,650 characters, authentic stroke order, finger tracing in the 田字格 grid • LISTEN — 10,482 built-in audio clips: 1,927 characters, 5,299 words and 2,989 example sentences • RECOGNISE — 5,299 HSK words, the full pinyin chart, 56 grammar points and a built-in dictionary • SPEAK — read-aloud practice with instant pronunciation feedback ● WHY WRITING WORKS Typing pinyin lets your brain take the day off. Writing by hand forces you to build every character, stroke by stroke — and that is what makes Chinese stick. • Instant feedback on every stroke • Undo a single stroke instead of restarting the whole character • Deliberately forgiving recognition, so you are never blocked mid-character ● THE COMPLETE HSK 1–6 VOCABULARY • 5,299 essential words: HSK 1 | HSK 2 | HSK 3 | HSK 4 | HSK 5 | HSK 6 • Pinyin, tone marks, meaning and a real example sentence for every single word • Browse level by level, so you always know exactly what to learn next • Bite-sized lessons of 10 words — a whole level never feels overwhelming ● NEVER FORGET A WORD AGAIN A spaced repetition (SRS) engine schedules each review at the moment you are about to forget. • 8 review intervals, from 4 hours up to 30 days • Answer correctly and the interval grows; miss it and the word comes straight back • Review mode drills only the words that are due today — nothing wasted, nothing lost ● TRAIN YOUR EAR Reading is not listening. Dedicated audio practice turns textbook Chinese into Chinese you can actually follow. • Every character, word and example sentence spoken aloud, with a dedicated Chinese voice so tones sound right • Listening practice: hear a word, then pick the correct character • Adjustable speech speed, from slow for beginners to natural pace ● QUIZZES THAT ADAPT TO YOU • Character → meaning, meaning → character, audio → character • Review mode built on your own SRS queue, so you revise exactly what you are about to forget • Instant corrections with optional answer sounds you can switch off ● STAY MOTIVATED • Three independent daily goals: new words, quizzes and reviews • Streaks, XP, weekly charts and achievement cards • A daily study reminder at the time you choose — 20:00 by default ● EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED • Built-in dictionary — search any word and watch how it is written • Dark mode, plus the choice of the built-in Chinese font or your device's own • 29 interface languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Français, Deutsch, Русский, Português, Tiếng Việt, ไทย, Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Melayu, Italiano, Nederlands, Türkçe, Polski, العربية, Svenska, Dansk, Norsk, Suomi, Čeština, Ελληνικά, Magyar, Română, Slovenčina, Українська ● 100% PRIVATE. 100% OFFLINE. • No account, no sign-up, no e-mail required • No ads, no tracking, no analytics • All study content works offline, even in airplane mode • Your progress stays on your device — there is nowhere else for it to go ● WHO IT IS FOR • Complete beginners who want to read and write Chinese properly from day one • HSK 1–6 candidates who have to write characters, not just recognise them • Self-learners who keep forgetting words they thought they had learned Start with a single stroke.
