Three characters a day.

A daily ritual for writing Chinese by hand. Watch the strokes, trace them, then write them from memory.

Coming to iPhone and Android.

How it works

Watch. Trace. Remember.

Every character moves through three steps. By the third, you're writing it on your own.

Watch

See the stroke order drawn for you, one stroke at a time.

Trace

Follow the outline with your finger. Sanzi checks every stroke.

From memory

Write it on a blank grid. Your handwriting is saved to your collection.

Daily themes

Every day has a theme.

Some days, the three characters make a word together.

A few quiet minutes each morning. In a year, you can write by hand about as many characters as HSK levels one to three cover.

Sound

Every character has its own melody.

Each correct stroke plays the next note of a short erhu phrase. Finish the character and the phrase resolves.

Sharing

Your handwriting, worth posting.

Turn each day into a card or a short clip of your own strokes, set to its melody.

Start with three.
