What is inside

课程Course

One story world per level, 479 story lessons. Each opens with its scene, then takes its words through eight stages: read the pinyin, match, choose the English, find the word in a sentence, build the sentence, fill the gap, explain it in Chinese, write it from memory.

测验Test

100 mock papers, one list per level: 60 to 82 questions, 55 to 120 minutes, the shape of the real sitting. A practice switch turns the clock off and marks each question as you go.

听写Write

The word is spoken; write it character by character on the 米字格, stroke by stroke. 默写: a whole sentence in six steps, the last from memory. 汉字: any of 9,546 characters, stroke order drawn out, no account.

口试Speak

Model passages with pinyin above every character. Tap a line to hear it, a word for its meaning, or slow the reading down.

我的Me

Level, the stamps each word has earned, the people met in the stories, badges, the font, settings. Hints beside the Chinese in 12 languages; the Chinese itself is never translated.
