Review your words

Every you press anywhere on this site drops a word in here. This page schedules them with FSRS, the open-source scheduler Anki now offers, or SM-2, the older algorithm Anki was built on, so you see a word again just before you would have forgotten it, and stop seeing the ones you know.

Play 8–12 of your words as a game: My Words Quest

Make a printable worksheet from your own word list

Your custom decks

Group words for a lesson, a trip or a topic. A word can belong to several groups and keeps one review schedule. Everything stays on this device.

Create or edit groups

Use Groups beside any saved word below to edit membership. Up to 50 groups share the existing 2,000-word device limit. Deleting a group keeps its words and history.

Import a vocabulary list (CSV / TSV)

Use a header row: Front, Reading, Meaning (Reading is optional). Optional Deck must match this page: zh. Up to 500 rows; files up to 256 KB, pasted text up to 256,000 characters. Paste your own entries; no dictionary lookup or correction is performed.

Preview first, then explicitly import into the selected group (or all saved words). Conflicting readings or meanings are ambiguous and skipped; exact duplicates keep their schedule and join the group. Rejected rows need a word and meaning within the limits: word 100, reading 160, meaning 1,000 characters; one line per field.

What groups can and cannot do

Groups filter words that are due; they do not create a new schedule or reset your progress. Choose All saved words to return to your full queue. Personal entries are unverified and cannot distinguish multiple readings of the same saved word. Resolve ambiguous rows before importing again.

This is free and needs JavaScript. Names, membership and explicitly imported entries are stored only in this browser, never in the URL or sent to us. Clearing site data loses them. Full backup (.json) below preserves groups; CSV and Anki exports remain word lists. This is a private study organizer, with no shared class roster or device sync.

Personal mnemonics and notes

Choose Notes beside a saved word below, or add a memory aid after revealing an answer. Keep a mnemonic, personal definition, note and your own sentence alongside the reference meaning.

Free, saved only in this browser. Notes are never uploaded; avoid sensitive information. Clearing site data loses them, so download a full JSON backup.

What can these notes tell me?

Your personal material is unverified and never edits the shared dictionary. This tool does not check facts, grammar or pronunciation, or generate mnemonics.

Full JSON backups restore notes. Merge keeps existing local notes and fills words that have none. CSV and Anki exports include notes too; use JSON to restore schedules.

Personal notes

Stored on this device only when you save. Personal content is unverified; the reference meaning and review schedule stay available.

Choose a skill to review

Meaning keeps your existing schedule. Each other skill starts separately; grading one never changes another.

Self-rated recall; no automatic pronunciation or handwriting assessment.

Your deck is empty

Look for the green button next to any word on the site β€” the HSK lists, the grammar examples, the graded readers, the travel phrases, the flashcards, even your own translation results. It saves the word here.

0 left today 0 done

Write the Chinese word from memory here, or on paper. Reveal it to compare, then grade your own recall.

This selection is up to date

You graded 0 cards. Come back for scheduled words, or choose another skill or group above to keep studying.

What these skill reviews can tell you

All five skills use your own Again / Hard / Good / Easy rating. Reading asks you to recall pinyin; Tones asks you to recall the saved tones; Writing asks you to produce the Chinese word. Compare with the saved answer after revealing it. These are self-reports, not checked answers or an assessment of pronunciation, stroke order, or handwriting quality.

Listening uses the existing pronunciation player and is available when audio is enabled. If playback fails, retry or skip; no listening grade is recorded until playback succeeds. Words without a saved reading are excluded from Reading and Tones; Writing needs a meaning. A personal entry's answer is unverified.

Schedules and grades stay in this browser and travel in a full JSON backup. Writing-pad strokes disappear when you change cards. Listening requests the selected word through the site's existing audio service. The header count and daily plan continue to use Meaning.

Export & backup

Your deck lives in this browser and nowhere else β€” we have no copy of it. Export it if you want it somewhere safer, or to carry it to another device or into Anki.

Restore a backup / move to another device

Anki import: in Anki choose File β†’ Import, pick the .txt file and keep the default field mapping β€” the file carries the separator and tag headers Anki reads.

An exported file leaves the site, so each one carries its own copyright and licence lines: unmarked definitions are © ThePureLanguage, and definitions marked † are adapted from CC-CEDICT under CC BY-SA 4.0. See licences and sources.

Your deck, your review history and your schedule are stored only in this browser (localStorage) and are never sent to us. Clearing site data or switching devices loses them β€” that is what the backup file above is for. See our Privacy policy.
