Finally, a Chinese app that doesn’t give up on you after HSK 2.
Real spaced repetition, real pronunciation feedback, real books — not another flashcard app that fizzles out the moment things get hard.
老王是一个园丁。他喜欢种菜。
Nicely done!
You just experienced flashcard review, stroke practice, tap-to-define reading, and a memory game — a few of the many features Merry Mandarin uses to make things stick.
Get the app to keep going →Every word comes at you from every angle — until it sticks.
Instead of separate apps for reading, writing, speaking and games, one word moves through all of them.
- Spaced repetitionReviewed right before you’d forget it
- Pronunciation practiceSpeak it, get instant feedback
- Stroke writingTrace it until it’s muscle memory
- Reading & storiesMeet it again in real sentences
- Character breakdownSee what it’s built from
- GamesMeet it again without it feeling like review
Whatever’s been stopping you, there’s an answer.
-
You review the same words forever and still forget them a week later.
FSRS‑5 spaced repetition
Models your personal forgetting curve and resurfaces each word at the exact moment you’re about to lose it — not on a fixed schedule that ignores how you actually forget.
-
You can read a character silently, but freeze the moment you have to say it out loud.
Real-time pronunciation feedback
Speech recognition built into the app grades your pronunciation the moment you speak, right on your phone — no waiting on a server, no separate app just to practice out loud.
-
You can recognize 你好 but couldn’t write it from memory if you tried.
Stroke-by-stroke writing practice
Animated stroke order and guided tracing turn characters into muscle memory instead of a shape you vaguely recognize.
-
Every course ends at "ordering coffee," and real books or the news might as well be in a different language.
A story library that grows into any book
Start with graded HSK 1–6 stories, then import any Chinese EPUB you own and read it the same way — tap any word for pinyin, tone, and meaning.
-
Practice games feel like a disconnected side quest that don’t actually help you remember anything.
Games built on your real review queue
Every round pulls from words you’re actually learning, so play time reinforces the same memory instead of running a separate app pretending to be one.
-
You learn on your phone, then lose your streak the moment you switch to a tablet or the web.
Progress that follows you everywhere
Your reviews, streaks, and decks sync automatically across every device you use — pick up exactly where you left off.
A roadmap that actually ends in fluency.
Most apps quietly give up around HSK 2. This one keeps going — all the way to real news and any Chinese book you own.
Your Chinese, actually sticking this time.
