Chinese Flash makes learning Chinese vocabulary effective and enjoyable. Built around a proven spaced repetition system, the app helps you remember words long-term by showing them at the optimal moment before you forget. Whether you are preparing for the HSK exam, learning Chinese for travel, or building everyday vocabulary, Chinese Flash guides you step by step with structured courses, clear pronunciation guidance, and detailed word explanations. Key Features: Spaced Repetition System Smart review scheduling using the SR algorithm. Rate each card as Again, Hard, Good, or Easy, and the app calculates the perfect time for your next review. Study fewer words while remembering more. Structured Vocabulary Courses Pre-built courses organized by HSK level and real-life topics such as daily conversations, food, travel, and business. Track your progress through each course and see how far you have come. Pronunciation Lab Master the four Chinese tones with visual pitch curves that animate as you listen. Hear each word spoken at normal or slow speed using built-in speech synthesis. Practice until every tone feels natural. Detailed Word Cards Every flashcard includes the Chinese character (hanzi), pinyin with tone marks, English meaning, part of speech, example sentences in both Chinese and English, memory mnemonics, and a radical breakdown to help you understand how characters are built. Progress Tracking & Achievements Watch your study streak grow, track how many words you have mastered, and unlock achievement badges as you reach milestones. Your progress motivates you to keep going every day. Smart Library & Search Browse all words by course, search by hanzi, pinyin, or English meaning, bookmark your favorites for quick review, and add your own custom words to any course.
