Same story, taught properly: a video walkthrough for every chapter, grammar broken down point by point, and a checkpoint exam to prove it stuck, with a certificate waiting at the end of each HSK level. Read at your own pace, or let the course carry you.
Built around one idea: meet you where you are.
Tap any word
Instant pinyin, tone, and meaning, right where you're reading. No flipping to a separate dictionary.
Read it your way
Toggle hanzi, pinyin, and tone independently, in any combination. Scaffold as much or as little as you need.
Pin by why it's hard
Reading, pinyin, tone, meaning, or writing: tag exactly what's tripping you up, then review just that.
Read aloud
Built-in text-to-speech for every line and paragraph, at your own pace.
Choose how you want to learn
Read and Courses are separate: pick one, or both. Each is billed and upgraded independently, any time, from your account.

The same story, growing with you.
HSK 1 opens with 152 words. By HSK 6, the story is drawing on the full 4,936-word vocabulary: narrative and dialogue side by side, always using only what you should already know at that level.
Questions
Do I need to know any Chinese to start?+
No. HSK 1 assumes zero prior knowledge, and every word is defined the moment you tap it.
Can I cancel any time?+
Yes, from your account page, whenever you like. No lock-in, no contracts.
Is my payment secure?+
Billing is handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
Does this actually help with the official HSK exam?+
Yes. Every word and grammar point is drawn directly from the official HSK 1β6 vocabulary and grammar lists.
What do I need to run it?+
Any modern browser: phone, tablet, or desktop. Nothing to install.
