## What is HanKa (汉卡)?

Learn Chinese characters and pinyin, level by level, with the new official HSK 3.0 standard (11,000 words, levels 1 through 7-9).

HanKa turns vocabulary memorization into a simple gesture: flip the card, then swipe right if you know it, left if you don't. The spaced repetition algorithm handles the rest: words you know come back less and less often, while the stubborn ones return within minutes.

SMART FLASHCARDS
- The complete official HSK 3.0 vocabulary: simplified and traditional characters, pinyin, translations in English, French, Vietnamese, Thai and Russian
- Spaced repetition (SM-2): review less, remember more
- Two modes: characters on the front, or pinyin on the front
- Pinyin hints below characters, on by default for HSK 1-2
- Mandarin audio pronunciation on every card

FIND YOUR LEVEL
- Pick the HSK level you're preparing, from HSK 1 to HSK 7-9
- Not sure where you stand? The placement test estimates your level in minutes

STAY MOTIVATED

- No account required, no data collected
- Interface in English, French, Vietnamese, Thai and Russian, detected automatically
