Studying can wait until later. But you check your phone every day, right? While you watch videos, check messages, or scroll through social media, Routine HSK brings Chinese words to you. In other apps, on your home screen, and on your lock screen, too. Here's what a day could look like. Review 10 words on your lock screen while waiting for the elevator. Practice 20 words with example sentences playing in the background on your train ride to work. See 10 more in your home screen widget whenever you pick up your phone. And practice another 20 as words pop up between stretches of watching YouTube. Without setting aside a study session, you've had 60 moments of vocabulary practice in one day. ■ Words come to you while you use other apps Choose the apps you often use and how often you'd like to practice. As you use your selected apps, a learning screen appears at the interval you've set. Take a moment to recall the meaning, check it, and get back to what you were doing. You can make time for a word without waiting to feel like studying. ■ Practice right on your home screen Add a learning widget to your home screen. A word while you're looking for an app. Another when you return to your home screen. Check words and keep practicing in the widget without opening Routine HSK. ■ Meet Chinese words on your lock screen You pick up your phone to check the time, and there's a Chinese word, too. Look at a word and check its meaning on your lock screen. While waiting for the elevator or for a friend to arrive, you have another chance to practice. ■ Listen to example sentences when you're not looking at the screen Keep learning on your commute, on a walk, or with your phone in your pocket. With example sentences playing in the background, you can hear how words are used in context. ■ Make your routine fit your day Choose what to study and your daily learning amount. Set which apps will show you words and how often they'll appear. Move past words you know and revisit the ones you're unsure about. Continue the learning you started in the app through widgets and other learning features outside the app. Free includes the fixed first 30 words in each level. Practice these words inside and outside the app without a limit on repetitions, and listen in the background without time or playback limits. These are not new free words each day. Plus unlocks all words in every level. Build your own HSK vocabulary routine into your everyday life. Note: The daily learning amount above is an example. Actual practice counts depend on your settings and usage. Learning outside the app requires setup and permissions. Display behavior and available features may vary by operating system and device. Routine HSK is an independent learning app, not an official app of the HSK examination organizer. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
