Laoshi: Learn Chinese & HSK App-Analysen für 7. November

Laoshi is a complete app for learning Mandarin Chinese: smart flashcards built for Chinese characters, tones and grammar, with real handwriting practice, pronunciation scoring and ready-made decks for every major Chinese textbook. Join 300,000+ learners who use Laoshi to build Chinese vocabulary, master Mandarin grammar, prepare for the HSK exam and make progress every day. Laoshi is a Red Dot Design Award 2021 winner and a HICOOL 2025 winner. Chinese works differently. Understanding a character isn't enough — you have to memorize it and write it by hand, and it fades fast. That's why spaced repetition sits at the core of Laoshi: it brings a word back exactly when it starts slipping, and locks it in through writing. Tones need pronunciation training, grammar needs clear explanations. Laoshi brings all of it together in one focused app. Why learners choose Laoshi: • Real handwriting practice — Don't just read Chinese. Write it. Write hanzi by hand in the correct stroke order on your phone and strengthen recognition through active recall. • Textbook decks, chapter by chapter — 4,300+ ready-made word lists covering 66 Chinese textbook series, including Standard Course HSK, Integrated Chinese, Developing Chinese, Boya Chinese, New Practical Chinese Textbook and Road to Success. Open your book, pick your chapter, start learning — no typing word lists by hand. • HSK 2.0 and HSK 3.0 coverage — Mandarin vocabulary and grammar aligned with both official exam standards, including the advanced 7–9 band, so you can prepare for the HSK exam at any level. • Flashcards built for Chinese — Tones, pinyin, meanings, example sentences and character writing in one learning flow. • Pinyin and tone training — Read pinyin with confidence and train tones with dedicated exercises. • Complete Chinese grammar database — 756 grammar points with clear explanations and practical examples, from beginner to advanced. • Spaced repetition system (SRS) — Scientifically optimized review intervals help you retain Mandarin vocabulary up to 3x longer. • Pronunciation and tone scoring, character by character — Say a whole sentence and every character comes back with two scores: one for pronunciation, one for the tone. The slip is named in words — a syllable you dropped, a tone that shifts before the next word. Listen to the reference, then play back your own take. Pronunciation practice runs on the word lists you already study: your textbook lists, our ready-made ones, or lists you build yourself. • 30,000+ word lists and thematic decks — HSK lists, textbook decks and topic-based Mandarin vocabulary, including preparation for the CSCA, China's standardized admission exam for international students. • Import and create decks — Bring lists from Anki, Quizlet or Pleco, or create and share your own. • Stroke order worksheets — Print any deck as a handwriting worksheet in one click. • Progress tracking — Monitor your HSK level, daily goals and long-term growth. Whether you are preparing for the HSK exam, applying to study in China, or simply learning Chinese for yourself — with thematic word lists or ready-made lists from your textbook — Laoshi gives you structure, clarity and tools that make Chinese vocabulary, characters and grammar stick.
