Daily Chinese that actually sticks
Nihao plans one focused Mandarin session a day — 15 to 60 minutes of characters, reading, listening, speaking and grammar — and builds tomorrow’s from what you got wrong today.
HSK 1–3, from your very first character. In your browser, or in the app on iPhone, iPad and Android.

What a session looks like
Five kinds of practice, in short turns, one after another. When the session ends, the day is done.
-
Characters & stroke order
Write each character on screen, stroke by stroke, in the right order — and get stopped when a stroke goes wrong.
-
Reading
Short everyday sentences with the pinyin hidden, so you read the characters instead of the alphabet. One tap shows it, and the session counts that as a hint.
-
Listening
Every word and sentence is spoken in a natural Mandarin voice, as many times as you want to hear it.
-
Speaking
Say the line out loud. Nihao shows you, character by character, which ones came through and which didn’t.
-
Grammar
One pattern at a time, explained plainly with examples, then put to work in sentences you build yourself.
How it adapts to you
A short placement test sets your starting level, so there is no course to choose and no lesson one to sit through. From then on, spaced repetition decides when each character, word and grammar point comes back — pushed further out every time you get it right, pulled closer the moment you don’t. And every day’s plan is built from the day before, so whatever you stumbled on yesterday gets the most room today.
