Chinese is in the tank

Characters and tones need more than flashcards, so they get their own drills: write a character stroke by stroke, or listen to the model and say it with the right tones.

  • Handwriting practice with stroke outlines — or freeform, if you're confident
  • Tone drills that listen to how you say it
