Du helps you build a small Chinese habit without sitting down for a long lesson. It's not meant to help you learn Chinese quickly, but rather slowly but consistently. Pick a deck, set a tiny daily goal, and let your Home Screen widget keep one useful word in view. Open the app when you want to reveal pinyin, hear the word, quiz yourself, or review what is due. It is built for quick, repeated glances: - Home Screen widgets for daily Chinese vocabulary - Many desks by difficulty as well as practical decks for food, travel, transport, shopping, health, numbers, and time - Pinyin, short meanings, and example sentences - Quick self-graded quizzes - Daily goals, streaks, and spaced review - Local-first learning with no account required
