About
HanziBloc teaches you to write Chinese characters by hand, on iPhone and iPad.
Most characters are built from smaller blocks. Learn the blocks once, and every new character becomes a puzzle you can solve: 木 + 木 = 林 (a grove), 亻 + 木 = 休 (to rest).
HOW A LESSON WORKS
• Meet the character: watch the stroke order, hear it, see what it means and the words it makes
• Trace it: each stroke is checked as you write, and the block you are writing lights up
• Write it from memory: the guide disappears; get stuck and a hint shows the next stroke
• Learn the words: as soon as you know every character in a word, you meet it and trace it
• Finish with a sentence: every unit ends with a full sentence made only of characters you know
WHAT'S INSIDE
• 70 units, from your first stroke to letters and short stories you can read and write
• Write 700+ characters and recognize about 600 more
• Short readings you can tap for meanings, and dictation as you advance
• 30+ copybooks: copy famous idioms and classic lines, like Li Bai's "Quiet Night Thoughts", once you can write every character in them
MADE FOR TWO KINDS OF LEARNERS
• Never studied Chinese? Start from one stroke. By the end of the first lesson you will have built a character out of blocks.
• Know some already? A short check skips what you can write, and stroke-order hints catch habits you got wrong.
TRADITIONAL OR SIMPLIFIED
Pick one when you start. Each is complete.
REVIEW THAT STICKS
Characters come back right before you would forget them. Choose a daily goal of 5, 10 or 15 characters.
START FREE
The first 5 units (about 50 characters) are free, with no ads and no sign-up. For the full course, subscribe monthly or yearly (both start with a 7-day free trial), or buy it once with Lifetime.
Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
