I’m Maggie, creator of HanLingo. As a Chinese tutor and software developer, I’ve worked with many international learners who shared the same core frustration: "I can memorize hundreds of HSK vocabulary words, but I still can't understand native speakers or form proper sentences in real context."
Traditional apps focus heavily on SRS flashcards with isolated words. But our brain connects meaning much faster through context, stories, and real-life scenarios.
That’s why I built HanLingo — a lightweight Progressive Web App (PWA) designed for contextual learning:
✨ What makes HanLingo different:
- Contextual Sentence Cards: Learn every word inside authentic daily & business sentences, with word-by-word pinyin highlights and slow-speed audio 🐢.
- Story-Driven Learning Paths: Master HSK vocabulary by following classic stories (like Journey to the West) broken into bite-sized chapters.
- PWA Experience: No app store downloads required — access instantly on Desktop, iOS, or Android with offline support.
- Morandi Design: Clean, distraction-free aesthetic for long, comfortable study sessions.
We are live today! I would love to get your feedback on the user experience, card design, and feature roadmap.
