HanziTube - Learn Chinese
Education
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Learn Chinese from videos you actually watch. Save words, hide their pinyin, and practice them with focused lessons built around real video sentences.
Learn Chinese from videos you already want to watch.
HanziTube turns YouTube and Bilibili videos into a focused Chinese study loop with synced subtitles, pinyin support, translations, saved vocabulary, fill-in-the-gap practice, and flashcard review. Instead of moving into separate practice content, you can study directly from real videos, songs, vlogs, interviews, and other Chinese media.
What you can do in HanziTube:
• Open YouTube and Bilibili videos for Chinese study
• Study with synced Chinese subtitle cards
• Read Chinese with optional pinyin and English support
• Hide pinyin on words you already know
• Tap subtitle lines while following the video
• Save useful words and sentences for later review
• Practise sentence recall with fill-in-the-gap exercises
• Review saved vocabulary with spaced repetition flashcards
• Keep your study progress synced across devices when signed in
HanziTube is built for learners who want more reading and listening practice from real content, not just textbook examples. It works especially well for learners using Chinese videos for immersion, shadowing, subtitle reading, and vocabulary building.
Free and Pro:
The app includes a free experience, with Pro unlocking expanded study features such as unlimited saves and full deck access.
Best for:
• Chinese learners using YouTube or Bilibili as study material
• Reading and listening practice with real audio
• Vocabulary capture from real-world content
• Reducing reliance on pinyin over time
• Building a tighter watch-to-review habit
