Out now

Chinese is in the tank

Characters and tones need more than flashcards, so they got their own drills — built on the same spaced-repetition core that powers the rest of Balik.

Balik handwriting review: writing the character for hǎo stroke by stroke
Balik tone drill: listen to the model, then say it with the right tones

Handwriting, stroke by stroke

Trace a character over its stroke outline until it sticks — or go freeform once you're confident. Every character you save becomes a review, not a screenshot you forget.

Tones you say, not guess

Listen to the model, then say it out loud. Balik listens to your pitch, your aspiration and your endings — multiple choice lets you get lucky; speaking means your ear and mouth actually did the work.

Same fish, new pond

FSRS scheduling, illustrated stories and your aquarium all carry over. Chinese is a course, not a separate app — your streak and your fish come with you.

Your first characters are waiting

Balik is free on Android. Pick up Chinese today — write your first character, nail your first tone, and let the fish keep count.
