• Enter your own characters, so you can personalize your vocabulary.

  • Each character contains Hanzi, Pinyin, and a definition, so you can focus your learning on the aspects important to you.

  • NOTE: this app DOES NOT come preloaded with characters. 

• Quiz yourself on the characters you’ve entered: prompted by either the definition or the Pinyin, write the character, and then compare it with the Hanzi defined with the character. 

  • Optionally view the animated stroke order (as you entered it) to reinforce writing style.  Each time you write a character, you learn it a little better.

• Browse and edit the characters you’ve entered, so you can update translations as you learn more about the language.

• Save your quiz state and resume it later (this becomes particularly useful as your vocabulary increases).

Hanzi Flash will allow you to take ownership of your learning of Mandarin Chinese. 

I use this program in my own studies, so any suggestions for improvements are welcome.
