## What is Chinese from Zero?

Chinese from Zero takes you from your very first character to a confident HSK 1 level — all in 200 short, focused lessons you can finish anywhere.

No prior knowledge needed. No account. No ads. Your progress stays on your device.

WHAT YOU LEARN
• All 150 HSK 1 words and 60 core grammar patterns
• Real, usable sentences from lesson one — greetings, family, time, places, shopping, and more
• Everything you need to pass the HSK 1 exam

HOW IT WORKS
• 200 bite-sized lessons across 5 modules, built on a spiral method: each word is introduced, used across several lessons, then locked in with spaced repetition
• Every lesson blends new words, grammar, listening, speaking practice, quizzes, and writing

WHAT MAKES IT CLICK
• Color-coded tones — every syllable is colored by its tone, so you see the melody of the language
• Native audio — hear each word and sentence in a clear native voice
• Character writing — trace real stroke-order animations to build muscle memory
• Mnemonics and etymology — memorable stories for tricky characters (好 = 女 woman + 子 child)
• Interactive quizzes — build sentences, match meanings, check tones, and train your ear
• Spaced repetition — the app brings words back right before you forget them

PRIVACY FIRST
• Works fully offline
• No registration, no tracking, no advertising
• We collect no personal data — your streak and progress never leave your device

Start today and say your first words in Chinese in minutes. 加油!
