GoChinese

Write Chinese, stroke by stroke.

Trace a character, then write it on your own — every stroke graded as you draw it, in the correct order, from HSK 1 to 6. A panda with a brush keeps you company.

Per-stroke grading · correct stroke order from the first character · a notebook of every character you’ve written.

What it does

Every stroke, checked as you write it.

GoChinese moves characters out of recognition and into your hand, in the order a native writer would use.

Trace, then write alone
Start at the green dot and follow the model. Ask for five or ten more passes and it fades a little each time, until you write it from memory.
Every stroke graded live
Get stroke three wrong and the app names it, circles it, and tells you how to fix it in one line.
Learn it four ways
Write single characters, write whole sentences, pick the character you hear, or type its pinyin with no tone marks.
Your own notebook
Every character you write goes into your notebook, stamped with your Chinese name. Export any of them as a printable PDF workbook.

Why GoChinese

You can read it. Your hand can’t write it.

Recognising a character and producing it from memory are two different skills, and only one of them comes from tapping. In most Chinese apps handwriting is one bullet in a long list. In GoChinese it is the whole app: ten characters a day, written in the right order, until your hand remembers them.
