HSK 1 roadmap
6 courses, 210 character cards. Start free with pinyin & tones.
Daily Life courses
3 courses, 144 character cards. The same card-by-card method, now in real-world scenes — travel, weather and your job.
Inside every card
Two characters, one word — tap Listen on each to hear its tone.
Tone color, not tone numbers
Red, orange, green, blue. The tone is visible before you even read the pinyin, so it sticks faster.
Watch it write itself
Every character animates stroke by stroke, then you trace it yourself with guided hints.
Hear it immediately
One tap for native audio. No pausing a video, no guessing which syllable went where.
How a lesson works
Ten minutes a lesson. No drilling, no memorising lists.
Tap a card
See the character, its tone-colored pinyin and what it means.
Trace the strokes
Watch the animation once, then write it yourself with hints.
Say it out loud
Replay the audio until the tone feels natural, then move on.

Questions
Everything people ask before starting.
Do I need to know any Chinese first?
No. Course 0 starts at pinyin and the four tones, so absolute beginners can begin on day one.
Is this aligned with HSK 1?
Yes. The six courses follow the HSK 1 character list in order, from pinyin through greetings, numbers, family, food and shopping.
How long is a lesson?
About 10 to 15 minutes. Each course has four lessons across two topics, and every lesson is built from character cards.
Do I need a Chinese keyboard?
No. You never type Chinese. You tap a card to hear it and trace characters with a mouse or a finger.
How do I pay?
One-time payment at checkout. No subscription and no auto-renewal, so you pay once and keep access.
What if it is not for me?
Email us within 30 days of purchase and we refund the full amount, no questions asked.
