Hey Product Hunt community! I’m super excited to share a useful app that our team has been working on over the last year. We created Laoshi. Laoshi is a tool to help people study Mandarin Chinese words and characters. You can expect: * Choose and study vocabulary lists that will always be at your fingertips. Our pre-made sets have been compiled from all of the most popular Chinese language learning textbooks and resources. Share vocabulary lists with your community. * Create your own vocabulary lists and add as many words as you’d like. With just three clicks, it’s much quicker and easier than having to manually write out paper flashcards. * Practice drawing Chinese characters directly onto your iPhone at your convenience! Leave the pen and paper at home! * Use the spaced repetition method so you’ll remember new vocabulary forever. Don’t you love it when your teacher reviews old vocabulary after learning some new concepts? Laoshi tracks your progress, and allows you to review old flashcards at the perfect time to solidify your progress. * Track your progress and improve your results. Interested in knowing how many new words you’ve learned? Laoshi’s got you covered. In the free version: - Unlimited flashcards - Add your own words - Listen to the pronunciation for each word - See the statistics of all your results, each and every day! More in premium version: - Draw Chinese characters directly in the app - Master Chinese intonation in our specialized lessons - Check context with usage examples while learning to memorize words better, faster, forever.

Do you use React Native for both apps or two different versions?

@selivandex Hi! It’s two different native version (Kotlin for Android, Swift for iOS) for each platform. We believe that it will help us bring best possible experience for our users

Is this app based on the new HSK levels or the old ones? I'm a Chinese student and have used many apps to study, I will definitely give this one a try. 💪 祝贺你 !

@copybycarmen hi, Carmen! Thanks for your question. Currently we use old HSK, because the new one is not officially launched yet. But we are ready for it.
Carmen Jiménez
@serglao Great! Unfortunately not many companies and apps are ready for the new HSK yet, this will definitely differentiate you even more from your competitors.

@copybycarmen hope to have all HSK 1-9 lists in 2 weeks
Carmen Jiménez
@serglao Awesome! It'll help me a lot because I'm still going through HSK 3. Thanks!

Hi, guys) I always support any education related platforms, products) of In addition, I have been working\learning with/in Mandarin for more than 7 years already (got HSK 6) etc I am wondering what is the difference between your product for learning mandarin and those other app already available?

@cn__katie hi, Katie! Thanks for great question. We make a tool for learning Mandarin words and characters. So we are really different from HelloChinese, ChineseSkill and Duolingua. Before started Laoshi, I tried Skritter (was ok before I decided to make my own vocabulary list and some customisation), Trainchinese (it's a dictionary with advanced tools), Anki and Quizlet. All of them are great apps, but not ideal for Mandarin words. We try to build one now =)
Alice Rodgers
@serglao thanks for such a detailed answer) I also use trainchinese and some other apps from this team (Pinyin, chinese writer)) Alright, I have downloaded Laoshi to try the ideal app for Mandarin words) great job guys!

@whimsyrum Thank you, Sasha

Great idea. I'm a big fan of Anki and spaced repetition but I can see how this would be perfect for practicing the actual writing of the characters.

@victorbjorklund handwriting + spaced repetition = really great combination. I myself love it.
Victor G. Björklund
@serglao you might wanna consider some kind of import from Anki since so many use it to learn chinese. 👏

@victorbjorklund already in backlog! Hope to release it soon.
