HSK Hero - Chinese Characters

Make 5,000 Chinese characters stick. HSK Hero turns every HSK 1–6 word into a fast recognition game you'll actually keep playing — and has been doing it for learners worldwide since 2016. Free to try. WHY IT WORKS Flashcards show you a character and ask "do you know this one?" It's too easy to nod along. HSK Hero makes you do the work: you get the English meaning, the pinyin, or both, you can tap to hear the word, and then you have to find its character on a grid of characters drawn from the same HSK level. Switch to English-only prompts and you must produce the Chinese word in your head before you can spot it — that's recall, not just recognition, and it's what gets you reading. We call it the Hero Method. One learner's review sums it up: "Forgot I was learning."
