*Handwriting Quick Tips:
1. If you do not know what the next stroke is, tap the light bulb button on the toolbar. The system will highlight the correct next stroke and play its name.
2. If you have no clue where to start, tap the film button on the toolbar. The system will play the stroke animation of the character and read it to you. On the animation screen, you can tap the character to animate the character stroke by stroke and listen to to the stroke names. After viewing the animation, tap the return button to navigate back to this handwriting screen.
3. When all the strokes of a character are written, swipe left the character box to write the next character and swipe right to rewrite the previous character. If you want to rewrite the current character, simply tap the character box.
4. If you want to adjust the handwriting recognition strictness or turn off the character outline, go to the Settings page to do so.
5. When you finish a character or a vocabulary, the system plays the pronunciation of the character or vocabulary automatically.
This tool is designed to help you test and practice your knowledge of Mandarin Pinyin and tones. After you tap or click the Play button, the system randomly plays the native speaker recording of a Chinese character or word (character compound). Select one of the provided answers you think it is correct. If you are not sure, tap the light-bulb button on the toolbar to view the Pinyin of the sound. Once you are comfortable with the one-syllable characters, try two, three or four syllable words.
