Master Japanese, Korean, and Chinese by writing every character stroke by stroke — the way native speakers actually learn. HeyWrite teaches correct stroke order through guided drawing practice on your phone. Unlike flashcard apps, your muscle memory does the memorizing — characters stick because your hand remembers them. -- WHY STROKE ORDER MATTERS -- Research shows handwriting beats passive study. Every character you draw in HeyWrite follows the exact stroke sequence used in Japan, Korea, and China — the same method taught in schools there. Correct stroke order makes your handwriting readable and speeds recognition. -- THREE LANGUAGES, ONE APP -- JAPANESE * Hiragana & Katakana (kana): all 46+46 characters with stroke order * Kanji: JLPT N5 through N1 (2000+ kanji organized by exam level) * Hear native-speaker pronunciation for every character KOREAN * Hangul: all consonants and vowels with stroke order * TOPIK 1 through TOPIK 6 vocabulary MANDARIN CHINESE * Hanzi: HSK 1 through HSK 9 (3000+ characters) * Simplified characters with stroke-by-stroke guidance -- HOW IT WORKS -- 1.
