Everything you need to master Chinese

Hanzio is the free Chinese dictionary that turns characters into long-term memory. Whether you're learning your first hanzi or pushing toward HSK 9, it fits your day in short, focused sessions.

You actively produce the answer

Each word is studied across four card modes, covering every angle: meaning, pinyin, writing and audio.

This four-way coverage is what turns a character into one you can read, write, sound out and understand by ear.

Vocabulary is structured in three phases

Each one asks a different thing of you, so your attention goes where it matters most:

Learn introduces new words
Review builds long-term memory with spaced repetition. Miss a card and it returns tomorrow; get it right and it comes back at growing intervals (3, 7, 14 days…), always just before you'd forget it
Practice deals with difficult cards based on your past mistakes
