Hanzi Hero is a Chinese learning app focused on building real vocabulary skills through interactive, flexible exercises. It helps learners understand, recognize, pronounce, and use Chinese characters with confidence.

The app combines audio, reading, and multiple-choice exercises, where users choose the correct answer out of five options to reinforce meaning and recognition. Pronunciation is trained through clear native audio, allowing learners to connect characters with correct tones and sounds.

Hanzi Hero also lets users build complete sentences, helping move from isolated words to practical language use. A built-in dictionary allows learners to look up words, see meanings, pronunciation (Pinyin), and example usage at any time.

Users can choose between Simplified or Traditional (old) Chinese characters, making the app suitable for learning Mandarin used in Mainland China, Taiwan, or classical contexts. Each character is taught together with its correct pronunciation and meaning, ensuring a balanced learning approach.

The learning experience is fully customizable: users can set their own learning speed, adjust difficulty, and choose how intensively they want to practice. This makes Hanzi Hero suitable for beginners as well as more advanced learners who want structured but flexible Mandarin practice.
