Since its debut in 2018, the Chineasy app has been recognized by Apple as an “App of the Day,” “Apps We Love,” and “Editor’s Choice.” With its intuitive design and play-to-learn methodology, the app has earned praise from both language experts and learners worldwide.
Over the years, the Chineasy community has grown, and we’ve listened closely to feedback from our dedicated users. This has helped us continuously refine the app, culminating in our newest upgraded version with several interactive features, ensuring an even better, smarter, and more engaging learning experience.
If you haven’t tried Chineasy yet, here are six powerful features that can accelerate your Chinese learning journey in no time!
A Fun and Effective Learning Method
At Chineasy, we believe that learning should be intuitive, engaging, and visually memorable. Our method transforms Chinese characters into colorful illustrations, making it easier to recognize, remember, and associate them with their meanings.
As you progress, you’ll not only learn individual characters but also see how they combine to form words and full sentences.
This organic learning process allows you to absorb grammar and structure naturally, making speaking and reading Chinese feel effortless over time.
And the best part? You’ll stay motivated as you quickly move from recognizing basic characters to understanding everyday phrases and conversations — that’s the magic of the Chineasy method!
Bite-Sized Learning for Busy Schedules
Worried about finding time to study? With the Chineasy app, learning fits into your lifestyle.
Each level is quick and digestible, making it easy to progress—even if you only have a short amount of time.
- Learn at your own pace—no pressure, no deadlines.
- Short, engaging levels keep learning light and enjoyable.
- Progress tracking ensures you stay on top of your journey.
Consistent practice, even for a few minutes daily, can make a big difference in your Chinese learning!
Three Types of Learning Levels
Chineasy’s structured learning path includes:
- Circular levels: Introduce 4-6 new words in each session.
- Square levels: Quiz your knowledge from the past 5-7 levels, with unlimited retakes to ensure mastery.
- Octagon levels: Challenge yourself with comprehensive checkpoints covering 15-20 previous levels.
This balanced approach ensures both breadth of vocabulary and depth of retention, creating a solid foundation for your Chinese skills.
Smarter Reviews for Long-Term Retention
Learning new words is just the first step. To ensure they stick, Chineasy offers powerful review tools based on the Spaced Repetition System (SRS).
- Speed Review (Review tab) helps reinforce what you’ve learned with quick recall exercises spaced at scientifically optimal intervals.
- Words to Learn focuses on words you find difficult, helping you overcome challenges efficiently.
- Topic-Based Learning (Review > Topics) lets you practice words by category, such as food, numbers, or people.
These tools help you retain vocabulary long-term—so you never feel like you’re forgetting what you’ve learned!
Daily Reminders to Keep You on Track
Consistency is key when learning a new language. That’s why Chineasy makes it easy to stay on track with daily learning habits.
- Set reminders to encourage regular practice.
- Use Siri Shortcuts to check your “Word of the Day” effortlessly.
- Learn through bite-sized daily content, so progress feels natural, not overwhelming.
As the Chinese saying goes: 三天捕魚，兩天曬網/三天捕鱼，两天晒网 (sān tiān bǔ yú, liǎng tiān shài wǎng)— “Three days fishing, two days drying the nets,” this highlights how inconsistency can hinder progress. In other words, the saying reminds us that steady effort is key to mastering any skill.
