Study Chinese: Learn Everyday

Introduction

Learn Mandarin one island at a time. Study Chinese takes you from your first 你好 to HSK 6 on the classic track, or to Level 9 on the new HSK 3.0 syllabus, with Bao the panda beside you. BAO WORLD Every course is its own painted world, and every chapter is an island. Bao walks the trail with you, stop by stop: new words, flashcards, matching, listening, writing and speaking. Clear the island and the moon gate opens to the next one. BOSS FIGHTS Each part of a chapter is guarded by a mini-boss: the Stone Lion, the Lantern Spirit, the Ink Imp or the Terracotta Guard. Your answers are your attacks. At the end of the chapter, the Nian Beast (年兽) tests everything you learned. WEEKLY LEAGUES AND THE TUESDAY CUP Earn XP and climb nine league tiers, from Stone to Master. Boards are grouped by level, so beginners meet beginners. Top finishers can win free days of Plus. Every Tuesday, last week's top 3 meet in the Tuesday Cup: 20 questions, 15 seconds each, one try. The best score takes the crown. HINTS FROM BAO, NOT ANSWERS Stuck on a question? Tap Hint. Bao shows the parts of the character, then the pinyin, then the meaning, and never just hands you the answer. Press and hold any line in a reading and Bao breaks the sentence down word by word. Hints work offline. TONES YOU CAN SEE Tone Studio draws the shape of each tone, listens to you, and scores your tones on your device. Your voice is not uploaded. TWO HSK TRACKS HSK 2.0 Classic: 11 courses, from Chinese 101 to HSK 6, about 5,900 words. HSK 3.0 (2025 syllabus): Levels 1 to 9, about 10,900 words. Not sure where to start? Take the short level check. EVERY WAY TO PRACTICE Flashcards with spaced repetition. Recall, Match, Picture Challenge, Listen, and Dictation with optional hanzi and pinyin subtitles.
