Hanzio

A dictionary that teaches

Browse 150,000+ entries in simplified (学) or traditional (學) — with meanings, pronunciations, frequency, stroke order, and related words. Uncover the building blocks of each character, see the words connected to it, and add your own mnemonic to lock it into memory. Explore curated official decks or create custom decks to organize your learning.

Four dimensions, one complete picture

Every word is taught across meaning, pinyin, writing, and audio. You don't just recognize characters — you read them, hear them, write them, and say them. That four-way coverage is what turns recognition into words you can actually use.

Three modes that work together

• Learn — introduces new words one at a time
• Review — spaced repetition brings each card back right before you'd forget it, testing across all four dimensions
• Practice — focused drilling on the words you keep mixing up, adapting to your mistake patterns

Progress you can feel

Earn XP, level up, and keep your streak alive as your vocabulary grows. Learn, Review, and Practice all roll up into one clear, motivating dashboard.

Start where you are

New to Chinese? Hanzio walks you in one word at a time. Already fluent in part of the language? Mark the cards you've mastered and skip straight ahead — no grinding through what you already know. Perfect for switching over from another app.

Built for real life

Hanzio works offline, syncs across devices, and is designed for short sessions — your commute, the coffee line, the five minutes before bed. And your data stays yours: export everything, anytime, and take it wherever you go.
