Practice Chinese

Knowing a word when you see it and catching it when you hear it are two different skills. These rounds train both: listen and pick the word, or match a word to its meaning. Everything you miss is saved to your study list and comes back on a schedule.

Listen & choose

A word is played — pick the one you heard. Distractors share the same length and often the same initial, so guessing does not work.

Word → meaning

Read the word and pick its English meaning. Available for every HSK level, including the ones without recorded audio yet.

Why practice beats re-reading

Re-reading a vocabulary list feels productive and changes very little. Being asked a question — and getting it wrong — is what tells you which words you actually know. That is why every question here is a choice, why the wrong ones are logged, and why they come back tomorrow instead of never.

Recorded audio

Listening questions use our own recordings — the same ones on the character pages and HSK word lists — not a browser voice.

Nothing to sign up for

Your study list lives in your browser. No account, nothing uploaded.

Ten questions is enough

Short rounds you will actually finish beat a 100-question set you abandon.
