Explanations in your language — pick one, then tap the text again.
One road. A thousand lessons.
No picking, no drifting, no “where do I even start”. The course walks you from HSK 1 to HSK 9 in order, one short lesson at a time — each one read, quizzed and kept before the next unlocks.
Read it
Real Chinese, served word by word. Tap anything you don't know — pinyin and meaning appear without leaving the page.
Prove it
A short HSK-style quiz after the text, graded on our side. A perfect score stamps the lesson.
Keep it
Match the lesson's key words before you leave. They go to your word book, ready for review.
Textbooks stop at “intermediate”. This road doesn't — the later lessons run deep into HSK 7–9: essays, reportage and literature at near-native depth.
Serialized daily — lesson 0 is outA newspaper that fits in your pocket.
Read on the subway, quiz in a queue, review words in bed. Everything works in your phone's browser — no app store between you and Chinese.

Questions, answered.
I'm a complete beginner. Where do I start?
Lesson one. The course starts from zero — first characters, first greetings — and every word is tappable, so you're never stuck. Most people finish the first lesson in about four minutes.
I'm past HSK 6. Is there anything left for me?
Yes — that's rare and it's deliberate. The upper course runs through HSK 7–9: essays, reportage and literature at near-native depth, still fully tappable.
Will I understand the explanations?
Explanations come in English, Vietnamese, Russian, Spanish, Indonesian and Thai — you pick once, everything follows: word meanings, grammar notes, quiz feedback.
Do I need to install an app?
No. LingoHan runs in any browser. On a phone, add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen like a native app.
I teach Chinese. Can I use this with my class?
Yes, free: create a class, assign reading, sentence, writing or recitation homework, and grade with AI drafts you approve. Every student's words and progress are visible in one place.
