Hi ProductHunt!
The idea for Zizzle was conceived when I and my co-founder were studying Mandarin in Nanjing, China, a few years ago. Back then, I struggled to remember the 3,000 Chinese characters required for fluency in reading because rote learning was repetitive and boring.
So I began thinking of quirky visual stories to remember the characters. With this approach, I passed the highest Chinese exam (HSK 6) in under a year. I decided that I wanted to make this way of learning Chinese accessible to everybody through an app.
The app features 5 heroes representing the 5 tones in Mandarin Chinese. These heroes are presented one by one as you start using the app.
We look forward to getting your feedback and inspire you to tackle the world’s most popular language (in terms of number of native speakers).
Thanks so much,
Lukas
