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.
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.


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