First learn the fundamental building blocks of Chinese characters, then learn how they slot together to make more complex characters.

Learn the words in order of frequency and importance, so you can start reading real Chinese material as soon as possible.

Each word has a story that uses your imaginative memory to link the character composition to its meaning and pronunciation.

No more cramming. We use a smart Spaced Repetition that prompts you to review words at just the right time for optimal memorisation. You'll remember most words forever after seeing them a handful of times.
