ScriptPad: Chinese Writing helps you learn to read, write, type, and speak Chinese from scratch.
Start with Chinese Basics, learn essential strokes, radicals, and your first characters with animated stroke-order guides that show you exactly how to write each one. Practice on an interactive drawing canvas and build real muscle memory as you trace each stroke.
Move beyond the basics into structured vocabulary lessons across 6 units and 130+ lessons. Every word comes with audio so you can hear and practice correct pronunciation as you learn.
Write by Hand: A full drawing canvas for every word, practice writing Chinese characters with your finger or stylus. The character outlines guide your strokes, and stroke-order animations show you exactly how each character is written.
Speak & Compare: Record yourself saying each word and compare your pronunciation side by side. Instant playback lets you hear exactly where to improve.
Type Mode: Learn how to type Chinese words. Instant feedback shows you what you got right and what to review.
Create Your Own Lessons: Paste any Chinese text, vocabulary lists, song lyrics, textbook sentences, and turn it into a writing lesson with audio.
Play & Practice: Reinforce every lesson with hands on activities that make vocabulary stick. Match words to pictures, build words by connecting their characters, listen for a word and slice it before it lands, mark your card in a listen and win bingo against the computer, fit word blocks together to clear the board, and blast word aliens out of the sky. Each activity plays the word's audio as you go, so you're always hearing the Chinese as you learn it.
Word Meanings in Your Language: See each word's meaning in English, Japanese, or Korean, switch the translation language anytime.
