Learning practiceLearn, recognize, recall, and review
How is one character learned?
A character can move through up to three stages: Flashcard to learn it, Choice to check recognition, and Dictation to recall it from sound. You can enable or disable stages in Learning Settings.
What should I do when I do not know a character?
Take your time to review the character's shape, sound, meaning, and examples. Then choose the self-assessment that best describes your result. The app uses your feedback to guide future review.
Does listening practice replace character learning?
No. Listening connects sound to written Chinese and strengthens recognition. It works alongside the character lesson, recall practice, and scheduled review.
Can I practice writing separately?
Yes. Use the Copybook and character detail tools to practice stroke order and handwriting. Writing practice can reinforce memory even when it is not part of your current daily stages.
How does review help me remember?
Previously learned characters return when they are due for practice. Your results and weak spots help shape future review, so you can spend more time on characters that need it.
