Guides

Five pages on the things a learner or a parent asks first. Every figure in them is counted from the catalogue the app runs on, and every stroke diagram is the outline the app draws.

• Chinese stroke order: the 8 rules, with a character drawn for eachThe eight rules that decide the order of strokes, each shown stroke by stroke on a real HSK character.
• Pinyin tones: the four marks, where they sit, and tone sandhiWhat the four tones are, the three rules that place every tone mark, ü, and the three sandhi changes that matter.
• HSK 3.0 Levels 2 to 6: words, characters and what each level coversWhat GF 0025-2021 changed, and the exact counts: 4,868 words and 1,780 characters across 698 lessons.
• 听写: the Chinese spelling test, and how to practise for itWhat happens in a 听写, what the 米字格 is for, and the four-step practice that actually sticks.
• Helping with Chinese homework when you do not read ChineseWhat a parent can check from the outside: the pinyin, the stroke count, and whether the missed words came back.
