Hi Product Hunt! 👋

Nihao is a free and ads-free way to learn your first words in Mandarin Chinese. It's made for kids 4 and up, and for adults starting from zero.

A lesson takes about 5 minutes:

🖼️ Meet 4 new words, each with a picture, characters, pinyin, audio and a sentence

🎯 Answer each word twice: once from a picture, once in a fill-in-the-blank sentence

❤️ Miss one and it comes back later, so you finish knowing all four

✍️ End by tracing a character, stroke by stroke

There are hundreds of lessons covering about 1000 words now. You can switch between Simplified and Traditional characters any time.

Everything is free. No ads, no in-app purchases, and no account needed to start.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially from parents teaching their kids Chinese. What topic should I add next?
