Hourly Hanzi: Learn Chinese

Learn Chinese from your home screen. Hourly Hanzi brings Mandarin vocabulary into the moments you already spend on your phone, then helps you practice what you see.

A NEW WORD, THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY
Add a widget to your home screen, or to your lock screen on supported Android devices, and choose scheduled word reminders. Set your own pace and quiet hours, then open any word to explore its pinyin, meaning, example sentences and pronunciation audio.

FROM FIRST TONES TO HSK & TOCFL
Start with pinyin and the four tones in Foundations. Practice listening, build pinyin and use the tone trainer to see each tone's pitch contour. Take a placement test or choose vocabulary from HSK 1–9 or TOCFL Novice 1–Level 5.
