## What is HSK Fish?

You have an HSK exam to pass. HSK Fish gets you there — with a daily study
plan built around your exam date, and a living ocean that grows every time
you study.

BUILT TO PASS HSK — NOT JUST "LEARN CHINESE"
Tell us your current level, target level, and exam date. HSK Fish builds a
real daily study plan — you always know exactly what to study today to be
ready on time. No guesswork, no "what should I review?" — open the app and
today's work is waiting.

EVERY LEVEL, EVERY WORD
The complete word list for every level, HSK 1 through 6 — over 5,000 words
with pinyin and native audio, organized exactly the way the exam tests them.
Whether you're starting from 你好 or grinding through HSK 6, the plan meets
you where you are.

EVERY WORD, IMPOSSIBLE TO FORGET
Every character is broken into parts you can actually picture: 好 "good" is
女 (woman) + 子 (child) — having a woman and a child with you, that's a
"good" life. Breakdowns like this turn strokes into stories, so new words
stick the first time you meet them.

STUDYING GROWS YOUR OCEAN
Every quiz earns coins. Coins hatch eggs. Eggs become fish. Your ocean isn't
decoration — it IS your progress: every word you learn makes it more alive.

ACTIVE RECALL, NOT TAP-THE-CARD
Most apps train you to recognize words. HSK Fish trains you to produce them:
every question arrives as a chat message from a cast of characters — your
mama, a taxi driver, a barista — chosen to fit the word, and you type your
answer back like real messaging. Word meanings, sentence translation,
sentence creation, English→Chinese. Native audio plays on every correct
answer.

SPEAK IT — AND GET COACHED ON YOUR TONES
Answer with your voice, not just your keyboard. Take a pronunciation test,
get scored on the exact tone you missed, and practice "repeat after me"
drills on a live voice call — like having a patient native speaker on
speed dial.

SMART REVIEW THAT REMEMBERS FOR YOU
Spaced repetition schedules every word at the moment you're about to forget
it. A mastery dashboard and heatmap show exactly which words are solid and
which need work.

REVIEW WITHOUT OPENING THE APP
A home-screen widget mirrors your living ocean — dawn, dusk, and night
palettes that shift with the real clock. On the lock screen and Dynamic
Island, a Live Activity shows today's vocabulary card, so review sneaks
into moments you'd otherwise spend scrolling. A glance at your growing
ocean is the reminder. No guilt-trip notifications.

A COLLECTION YOU'LL WANT TO TEND
Fish get hungry when you're away and evolve when you look after them. Every
fish represents learning effort, so consistency stops feeling like a chore
and starts feeling like taking care of something you own — and nothing
you've earned is ever taken away.

WHY FISH?
Because motivation dies in streak counters and guilt notifications. A living
thing that depends on you is different: you come back because your ocean
needs you — and somewhere along the way, the vocabulary sticks.

ALSO IN THE OCEAN
• Compete with friends on the leaderboard — add them with a friend code
• Day streaks that reward showing up
• Collectible fish cards with a hatch-reveal moment
• An app icon that changes with your ocean's mood
• Full English and Bahasa Indonesia support

MADE FOR
• Students who need an HSK score for university, scholarships, or work
• Self-learners who finished a beginner app and want real structure
• Anyone who recognizes words on paper but freezes when speaking
• Busy people — ten focused minutes a day keeps the plan (and the fish) alive

Passing HSK is hard because staying consistent is hard. HSK Fish makes
consistency feel like growing a world.

Hatch your first fish today.
