## What is Houzi?

Houzi helps you learn Chinese in a calm, structured way: HSK vocabulary, grammar, radicals, sounds, writing sheets, phrasebooks, reading, and fast practice games in one app.

Inside the app:

HSK words with hanzi, pinyin, and translation;
grammar, radicals, and sounds for a strong foundation;
game modes for review, speed, and focus;
writing sheets with grid settings, page controls, and export;
useful phrasebooks for travel, cafes, pharmacies, shopping, and more;
short reading stories adapted for your level;
your own collections and pinned folders for quick access;
progress tracking, review flow, and daily practice.
Houzi is made for learners who want more than flashcards: read, listen, write, build words, notice patterns, and grow confidence step by step.

It works well both for getting started with Chinese and for steady HSK review.
