Hanzi Garden — learn Chinese with spaced repetition
Hanzi Garden is a free, WaniKani-style spaced repetition system (SRS) for Mandarin Chinese. Start with radicals, build them into hanzi (Chinese characters), then into vocabulary — with mnemonics, tone-marked pinyin, native-voice audio, and example sentences along the way.
This is the tool I built — and use every day — to learn new Chinese words. It's free for everyone. — Daniel Gleason
