Hanyu: Learn Chinese Mandarin
iOS Universel / Education
Learn to read, write and speak Mandarin — with live radio from China, an on-device AI tutor, 680+ characters with stroke order, graded stories, 18 games and full HSK 1–3 mock exams with certificates.
Everything is free for your first 30 days — no signup, no card details, nothing to cancel. Explore the whole app from the moment you download. After your free month, keep everything with a small monthly or yearly subscription, or make it yours forever with a single lifetime purchase.
NEW: LIVE CHINESE RADIO Tune into 21 real stations from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong — news, music and talk, exactly as native listeners hear it. Every station is labelled by listening difficulty (music is the gentle on-ramp; news is a workout for advanced ears), audio keeps playing while you study elsewhere in the app, and play/pause lives right on your lock screen.
HSK CERTIFICATION TESTS Take full-length mock HSK 1, 2 or 3 exams — 30 questions across character recognition, pinyin matching, translation, fill-in-the-blank, grammar and listening. Finish with a detailed report: score breakdowns by skill, personalised strengths and weaknesses, targeted exercise recommendations, and a downloadable certificate with your name, date and score.
