First learn the fundamental building blocks of Chinese characters, then learn how they slot together to make more complex characters.
No more rote memorization. Each word has a story that uses your imaginative memory to link the character composition to its meaning and pronunciation.
No more cramming. Our Spaced Repetition algorithm prompts you to review words at just the right time for optimal memorization. Remember most words forever after seeing them a handful of times.

"I've been studying Mandarin for a couple of years and Hanzi seemed impossible… This app makes Hanzi understandable and fun. I actually look forward to the reviews and can't wait to unlock more characters."
"I've tried over a dozen apps… Now, with Mandawin, I'm learning faster than I ever have before. I feel incredible because I'm learning so fast and retaining it."
"The brilliance of this app is that they ARE cracking jokes… to help you remember lessons about learning Mandarin."
"Mandawin works by teaching you a (sometimes hilariously) made-up meaning… Spaced repetition and the 'reading power metric' make it super motivating."
"The approach is very intuitive and has helped me learn and retain far better than the others."
"I absolutely love the simple design… no interrupting ads... I rarely subscribe to apps, but I will for this one."
