Everything in one hive

One word list. Four ways to learn it.

01Spaced repetition

Review each word right before you would forget it.

HanziBee schedules every card with FSRS, a modern memory model. Look at the word, reveal the answer, and tell it how it went. Two buttons, no guesswork.

  • A daily goal that keeps your streak honest
  • Example sentences with pinyin and translation
  • Words you keep forgetting are flagged, so you can give them extra work

02Listening

Train your ear on the words you are learning.

Play a clip and pick the word you heard. Clips come from the words due today, and anything you mishear twice comes back as its own set.

  • Slow playback at 0.75×
  • Curated sets by level and topic
The Listening drill with four answer options and 大家 marked correct

03Reading

Read short passages at your level.

Graded stories from HSK 1 to 4, each with comprehension questions. Tap any word for its meaning, then add it to a deck in one more tap.

  • Pinyin on or off
  • New passages unlock as your vocabulary grows

04Writing

Write every character stroke by stroke.

Draw each character with your finger. HanziBee checks every stroke against the real stroke order, and Show me plays it back when you get stuck.

  • Characters come from the words you review
  • Writing has its own review schedule
The Writing drill with the character 当 drawn in all six strokes

05Progress

Watch your progress add up.

See your streak, the cards you reviewed this week, month or year, your accuracy in each skill and how many words you know. It also tells you which skill to practise next.

  • Accuracy for vocabulary, listening, reading and writing
  • Time studied each day
