The Companion App Philosophy

Unlike rigid language apps that try to isolate you in a closed, gamified bubble, HanyuHub is built as a learning companion.

Surround Yourself with Chinese

To achieve true fluency in Mandarin, HanyuHub works best when combined with real-world exposure: working with a private tutor, watching Chinese shows, listening to native audio, and speaking with native speakers.

HanyuHub provides the scaffolded tools you need to make that journey effortless:

  • Real-World Immersion: Read authentic articles and situational dialogues with instant character lookups.
  • Smart Memory Engine: Retain vocabulary efficiently using the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm.
  • Tutor & Coaching Tools: Connect directly with your private teacher to receive custom assignments, voice feedback, and class tasks.

When you first log in, you will see the Getting Started checklist on your dashboard. Here is the recommended quick-start path:

1. Read Your First Article or Dialogue

Open any beginner passage in Articles or Dialogues. Tap on any Chinese character you don't know to see instant stroke order animations, Pinyin, and definitions.

2. Bookmark a Word to "My Words"

Inside any reading passage or dictionary search, click the bookmark icon on a character. This automatically saves it to your personal My Words queue for daily spaced repetition review.

3. Generate a Printable Practice Sheet

Go to your My Words list and click Export to generate an A4 PDF handwriting worksheet with character stroke order and practice grids.

4. Complete a Daily Task or Snackable

Head over to Snackables or finish a quick review on your Dashboard to kickstart your daily study streak!
