WHAT YOU CAN DO - Read: browse available words with Hanzi, pinyin, English meanings and example sentences where available. - Listen: hear Chinese text with your device's built-in text-to-speech voice. - Write: watch the stroke order of available characters, then trace the strokes yourself. Writing is shown only for levels where it is available. - Review: rate words and come back to them on a spaced-repetition schedule. Your progress, review schedule and settings are stored on your device. - Quick match: a one-minute matching game with words you have learned.
