how it works

Three tiny steps to 汉字 bragging rights

1
Pick your level

HSK 1 through 6 — from your first 150 characters to the full 2,600-character deep end.

2
Scribble every stroke

Draw strokes in order on the grid. Calli checks each one live — stuck three times? A hint lights the way.

3
Watch your streak grow

Daily streaks, accuracy by level, and a leaderboard for friendly showing off.

Why scribbling beats swiping

🧠
Muscle memory magic

Writing a character by hand wires it into motor memory — it sticks far longer than tap-to-match flashcards ever will.

🎯
Stroke-level feedback

Know the exact stroke you fumbled, the moment you fumble it — not at the end of the word. No guessing, no bad habits.

🏮
Made for reconnecting

Grew up hearing Chinese but never learned to write it? Start with the characters you already know by ear, at your own pace.

🎮
Streaks & showdowns

Daily streaks, accuracy stats and a friendly leaderboard keep ten minutes of practice feeling like a game, not homework.
