App Tips

Top features to try first

Five tools that make each character easier to remember, write and read.

  1. Pinyin Palace Deep Study: build a scene for a character from 5 blocks: Actor, Set, Tone Zone, Props and Scene Action.

  2. Writing Practice: watch Stroke Demo draw a character stroke by stroke, then use Trace to write it yourself.

  3. Top 500 Characters: reading mode hides the pinyin, so tap SHOW on a card, or tap Show All Pinyin to show it on every card.

  4. Next 500 and Top 1500 Characters: when you're ready, move on with Study Next 500 and Study Top 1500.

  5. Custom Decks: make your own deck. In Create Study Sentence, keep Practice Shadowing ticked for sentences you save.
