You're a great teacher. Your students' tools aren't keeping up.
Your students are jumping between DuChinese, Anki, Quizlet, and Google Docs — spending more time managing tools than learning Chinese. HanziForge brings reading, flashcards, grammar, and writing into one platform built around their own vocabulary.
Free to start. No credit card required.
Your students are drowning in apps
Between your sessions, your students are cobbling together a patchwork of tools. Each one does one thing. None of them talk to each other. Vocabulary learned in one app doesn't carry over to the next.
Reading
DuChinese, The Chairman's Bao
Flashcards
Anki, Quizlet, Pleco
Writing
Word, Google Docs, Key5
Grammar
Textbooks, worksheets
Every tool is a different world. Vocabulary doesn't transfer. Progress doesn't connect.
One tool for every assignment
“Read this article and save 10 new words”
Smart Reader → one-click vocab import → auto-enriched flashcards with audio
“Practice building sentences with this week's grammar”
Grammar Forge generates drag-and-drop puzzles using the student's own vocabulary
“Write a paragraph about your weekend using your new words”
Writing Practice with AI feedback — native speaker's rewrite + English explanations
Built on how languages are actually learned
Paul Nation's Four Strands · Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis
Meaning-Focused Input
Smart Reader
Students read self-selected texts with built-in scaffolding — exactly what Krashen's Input Hypothesis predicts will drive acquisition.
Meaning-Focused Output
Writing Practice
Free composition with AI feedback pushes students to produce language, not just recognize it.
Language-Focused Learning
Grammar Forge + Flashcards
Deliberate study of vocabulary and grammar patterns through spaced repetition and sentence assembly.
Fluency Development
The whole system, together
All four tools share the same vocabulary deck — so every activity reinforces every other activity.
Four tools. One system.
Assign any Chinese text as a reading
Students paste an article, a story, or any text you choose. HanziForge segments it instantly, shows pinyin on hover, and highlights words they don't know. New vocabulary gets added to their deck in one click.
Flashcards that build themselves
Every word a student adds gets auto-enriched with native audio, example sentences, and smart distractors — pulled from their own deck. No more hours formatting Anki cards.
Grammar practice with their own words
Drag-and-drop sentence puzzles generated from vocabulary your students have gotten wrong. They're not memorizing — they're learning how words fit together.
AI-powered writing feedback, instantly
Students compose paragraphs using their target vocabulary. An AI tutor evaluates grammar, provides a native speaker's rewrite, and explains every correction in English.
