Built for the HSK
Never forget
a character.
Hanzi Master turns every Chinese character into a tiny story your brain keeps. Learn faster. Remember longer.
Free to start. 150+ HSK 1 characters.
An Aquarium with a bedroom inside. The Hulk watches a woman cradle her child. That is good.
The problem
Rote learning forgets.
Flashcards fade. Tones slip. Characters blur together. You cram for the test and lose it by Friday.
How it works
Every character
becomes a scene.
A single character hides four things: what it means, how it sounds, its tone, and how to write it. Hanzi Master turns all four into one short story you watch once and never lose.
A mother beside her child acts out good.
An Aquarium with a bedroom inside. The Hulk watches a woman cradle her child. That is good. Hǎo.
This is the exact card you get in the app.
One scene, four lessons
Learn the whole
character at once.
What it means
The parts of the character act out the meaning, so it sticks to the picture.
How it sounds
The actor and the place spell out the initial and final, built into the scene.
Its tone
The room matches the shape of the tone, so the pitch comes back with the picture.
How to write it
Animated stroke order, then you trace every stroke yourself.
Why it works
Memory science,
not grind.
Stories, not lists
Your brain holds a vivid scene far longer than a flat flashcard.
Spaced repetition
Reviews arrive right before you forget, so each one counts.
Sound built in
Every scene teaches the pronunciation and the tone at the same time.
The same techniques memory champions use, tuned for Chinese.
Weeks,
not years.
Stop drilling. Start remembering. Ten focused minutes a day is enough.
In the app
Everything that
makes it stick.
A story for every character
Colour-coded so you see the actor, the place, the tone and the meaning at a glance.
A Ninja creeps into the bedroom of an Igloo and points his blade at the person he wants. That is you.
Stroke order, animated
Watch each stroke draw itself. Then trace it yourself until your hand knows it.
Review that reads your memory
Spaced repetition schedules each card for the moment it matters. No wasted reps.
