Taiwan Hanzi

Taiwan Hanzi PARTS FIRST Most characters are made of a meaning part plus a sound part. Learn the water component and the sound component “qing,” and whole character families stop being strangers. Family Flow cards let you learn an entire family in seconds: the meaning side in blue, the sound side in red, with pronunciation, a common word, and the reading. ZHUYIN, THE TAIWAN WAY Zhuyin is printed vertically beside each character, just like in Taiwan’s schoolbooks. Prefer Pinyin? Switch anytime, or show both. A ten-minute lesson teaches the Zhuyin phone keyboard, column by column. REAL TAIWAN Scan a menu, sign, or receipt: every line gets pronunciation and can be read on your phone. Packs for convenience stores, night markets, the MRT and HSR, bubble tea, messaging apps, and Taiwan receipts. Taiwan readings and Taiwan vocabulary, not Mainland ones. Coming from Simplified Chinese? 31 patterns help you turn most of what you already know into Traditional Chinese. LEARN AND REMEMBER Spaced review schedules each card just before you are likely to forget it. Graded stories and dialogues use only characters you already know. Listen at slow or natural speed, and practice Zhuyin dictation. Speaking practice compares your pitch with the shape of each tone. Writing practice teaches stroke order. A TOCFL-style mock test is built from the official Taiwan proficiency lists. The Atlas puts all 3,481 characters on one zoomable map. ON YOUR IPHONE Widgets for today’s character, cards due, and your weekly goal. Scan from the Home Screen, Lock Screen, Control Center, or Action Button. Daily reminders, offline use, and the iPhone’s Taiwan voice. FOR TEACHERS Create a class, share a six-letter code, give assignments, and see a weekly report showing which characters your class keeps missing. No student accounts or email addresses are needed. NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. Your progress stays on your phone.
