What if Chinese wasn’t something you had to learn one character at a time? Luoji helps you see the logic connecting the language. Chinese characters belong to families. Words reveal clues about other words. Stories, sounds and meanings connect in ways that make the language easier to understand once you know what to look for. Luoji turns discovering those connections into a quest. Collect character families and watch your understanding grow. Progress through nine levels as you unlock more of the language, and compete with your classmates and friends on the leaderboard. But the goal isn’t just to know more characters. It’s to reach the point where you can encounter Chinese you’ve never seen before and have the tools to make sense of it. And you don’t just learn Chinese. You use it. Speak with Luoji and create your own sentences using the words you’ve discovered. Put your understanding to the test by reading Chinese directly in the app, from articles and poems to stories and Cheng yu and discover the culture and ideas behind the language along the way. The more connections you uncover, the more Chinese starts to make sense. Unlock the logic. Connect the dots. Read and speak Chinese with confidence.
