About
Little Hanzi helps children explore 500 common Simplified Chinese characters in 100 everyday themes. Pictures, pinyin and Mandarin pronunciation bring each character into focus, one page at a time.
LOOK, LISTEN AND READ
Tap a character to hear it, then explore its words and short example sentences. Browse themes directly from the new home screen and return to your next lesson easily.
FOLLOW EACH STROKE
Open tracing from a character page. Numbered starting points, direction cues and a highlighted current stroke guide each step. Watch a demonstration, try again or reset; finishing the writing activity requires drawing the strokes in order. Tracing is optional in the reading journey.
BUILD FAMILIARITY
Short activities revisit pronunciation, shape and meaning. Reading stations use characters introduced in the lessons. The character library makes it easy to find and revisit familiar material.
MADE FOR FAMILIES
Parents can adjust pinyin and sound, view learning records, restore purchases and delete local progress. Progress and settings stay on this device. There is no account, subscription or third-party advertising. The parent area recommends other apps from the same developer; external links require an adult check. Designed for iPhone and iPad.
START WITH 10 CHARACTERS
The first two lessons, covering 10 characters, are free. A single non-consumable purchase permanently unlocks lessons 3–100, the remaining 490 characters and their included activities. The App Store displays the price before purchase. Purchases and restoration require the parent check; previous purchases can be restored with the same Apple Account.
