Most asked questions
Reading helps you recognise a character. Writing challenges you to recall it, stroke by stroke. Practising both can help you remember characters and tell similar ones apart. Practice Hanzi brings reading and writing together in every session, helping you build confidence in both.
Keeping up with flashcards can feel like a task in itself. Practice Hanzi uses vocabulary from your textbook where users learn new words per topic. Spaced reviews help you revisit words before they fade from memory, while a daily goal you choose keeps practice manageable.
There’s a good chance your textbook is already included.

No. You can learn as you go. Each word includes pinyin and audio to guide your pronunciation, while interactive exercises help you connect the characters, sounds, and meanings.
