How it works

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Watch

    Origin, stroke order, readings, compounds and an example — 60 seconds per character.

  2. Answer

    Reading, writing, stroke count, radical. Quizzing right after watching is what makes it stick.

  3. Review on schedule

    Anything you miss goes into spaced review — tomorrow, in 3 days, in a week.
