Chinese Learning Games

40 games and quizzes for learning Mandarin, grouped by the skill each one trains. They run in your browser — there is no account, no email, no download and no paid tier. Scores, streaks and your review deck are saved on your own device.

Every word comes from the official HSK 1–6 lists, and every reading and meaning is looked up in the same dictionary that powers the translators — so a game here cannot tell you something different from the rest of the site.

Play one a day

Two puzzles that change at midnight and are the same for everyone, so you can compare with a friend.

Listening

The skill that decides whether you can use Chinese outside a textbook. Every one of these plays real audio.

Tones and pronunciation

Tones are the half most courses are thin on. These go from recognising one to producing it out loud.

Characters and writing

Reading and writing hanzi — how a character is built, how it is written, and how to tell it from the one it looks like.

Vocabulary

Words in and out of your head faster. Everything here is drawn from the official HSK 1–6 lists.

Grammar and sentences

Word order is where English speakers lose sentences they knew every word of.

Idioms and culture

Chengyu are four characters that quote a story. Learn the story and the idiom stays.

Travel and real situations

Timed practice for the conversations you actually have — a menu, a market, a border desk.

Never studied Chinese before

No reading required. Pictures and sound only, so you can start today.

Questions

Yes — all 40 of them, with no account, no email, no sign-up and nothing to install. They run in the browser. The site is paid for by ads, and that is the whole business model; there is no premium tier holding anything back.

The three in "Never studied Chinese before" need no reading at all — they use pictures and sound. After that, tones are the highest-return thing to drill early, because a tone you learn wrong is harder to fix later than a word you never learned.

For 14 of them, yes — they play real spoken Mandarin, and that is the point of those. The rest are reading and typing games that work in silence. Every card says which is which, and no audio ever plays until you press something.

The two speaking games and the pitch mirror use your browser's own microphone, and the pitch mirror keeps everything on your device — nothing recorded is uploaded or stored. Every card that opens the microphone says so before you start it.

On your device, yes — streaks, XP, badges and your review deck live in your browser's local storage, which is why none of it needs an account. It does not follow you to another device, and you can back it up from the progress page.

The official HSK 1–6 vocabulary lists, plus the site's own dictionary for readings and meanings. Nothing is stored twice: a game looks a word up at the moment it shows it, so a game can never disagree with the translators about what a word means.
