The right words. Every stroke. Brushwright is an independent study app for Chinese vocabulary at HSK levels 1, 2 and 3. Learn words with Hanzi, pinyin and English meanings, listen with your device's Chinese voice, practice stroke order, and review with spaced repetition. 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. It is extra practice and does not change your review schedule. - After a session: check the new words with a short quiz, or trace their characters. This is extra practice and does not change your review schedule. - Your plan: choose your study level (HSK 1-3) and an optional exam date, and Brushwright plans each day. See your study days and progress on the summary. - Practice tests: short timed tests in Brushwright's own format, with listening and reading sections.
