## What is HanziLane?

Learn and review Chinese characters and words with HanziLane, a focused study app built for simplicity. No streaks, no gamification, no distractions—just a clean interface for practicing Hanzi and vocabulary.

Organized by HSK 3.0 (Levels 1–9) or frequency, HanziLane lets you quickly jump into a study session, shuffle a set of words, and start practicing immediately. Whether you’re reinforcing basics or working through more advanced vocabulary, HanziLane keeps everything simple and efficient.

Features:

• Shuffle and review words instantly
• Multiple quiz modes (Hanzi → meaning, meaning → Hanzi, pinyin → Hanzi)
• Long-press any card to hear pronunciation
• Tap any character to see stroke order as an animation
• Filter by level or search for specific words
• Clean, distraction-free interface designed for quick study sessions
• No accounts, no tracking, no unnecessary features—just practice
