## What is ChinesePal?

Most apps teach you to recognise Chinese. ChinesePal teaches you to write it — all 11,092 HSK words, open to everyone from day one.

WRITE IT, STROKE BY STROKE
Flip any card and tap Write. Trace the character over a faint guide and every stroke is checked the moment you lift your finger: where it starts, which way it runs, whether it is finished. When a stroke is off, you see which one and why, with your own ink left on the page to compare. Step down to an outline, then to a blank page, and write the character with no help at all. Covers all 2,972 characters the HSK vocabulary uses.

EVERY HSK WORD, HSK 1 TO 7–9
The full 11,092-word list of the current HSK standard — not a sample, not a first level with the rest behind a paywall. Each word comes with pinyin, part of speech, an English definition, example sentences with pinyin and translation, and a memory tip. Listen to any word read aloud.

REVIEW IS NEVER LIMITED
Go back over what you have studied as often as you like, free. Pick what to review: Fading Away (words closest to being forgotten), Often Missed, Long Time No See, or the words you have starred. Rate how hard each word felt and its next review is scheduled on the spot.

QUIZZES THAT FEED YOUR REVIEWS
Quiz yourself on four sets: Recently Learned, Often Missed, Long Time No See, and Smart Review™. Every answer goes back into your review schedule, and you can look back over your last quiz to see what you missed.

SEE YOUR MEMORY, NOT JUST A STREAK
Your progress page shows words mastered, words learned and words due, level by level, with your streak and a study heatmap. Tap any word to see how firmly you know it and when you are likely to forget it.

ALWAYS WITHIN REACH
Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show what is due today. Ask Siri to start learning, or how many words are due. Set a daily reminder that tells you only what is due — never a guilt trip.

WORKS OFFLINE, SYNCS PRIVATELY
The whole dictionary and stroke data ship inside the app. Your progress stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud account. No sign-up, no account.

FREE, AND IT STAYS FREE
Every word is open to everyone. For your first 7 days, learn as many new words as you like; after that, 20 new words a day. Need more today? Watch a short ad you choose to play and get 10 more. After your first 3 days, a small banner sits below the content on the Learn, Quiz and Progress home screens — never during study, quizzes or handwriting. There are no pop-up ads. Review is always unlimited. Handwriting follows the words you study and has no separate limit. The free tier will only ever get more generous, never less.

CHINESEPAL PRO
Pro does not unlock content — everything is already open. It gives you:
• No daily limit on new words, and longer sessions of 20, 30 or 50 words
• Smart Review™, which picks the words that are due based on your own memory, with adjustable retention
• Classical painting themes
• No ads
