PanJia
Built on the HSK 3.0 syllabus

Learn Chinese by topic, and speak from the very first lesson.

Every lesson is an everyday topic — greetings, family, food, getting around. You listen, speak, write the characters and use each word in a real sentence, then the app brings it back just before you would forget it.

Wherever you are, PanJia starts from there.

Starting from zero

No characters yet? Fine. Sounds first, then radicals, then one topic at a time.

Preparing for HSK 3.0

Built on the new syllabus from HSK 1 to HSK 5, with mock papers in the real exam format.

Need to speak for work or travel

Practise answering what people really ask: ordering food, asking the way, a job interview.

Only ten minutes a day

Short lessons you can finish. The app brings words back just before you would forget them.

The HSK path

Five levels, every stage something you can say.

Lessons are grouped into stages by what you will be able to say, not by word lists. Each level is a path of its own: pick yours and start there — no need to begin at the bottom.

  1. HSK 1

    Greetings, family, numbers, time

    50+lessons
  2. HSK 2

    Shopping, travel, health, hobbies

    40+lessons
  3. HSK 3

    Telling stories, comparing, making plans

    90+lessons
  4. HSK 4

    Work, society, giving your opinion

    160+lessons
  5. HSK 5

    News, culture, longer arguments

    270+lessons

The full vocabulary of the HSK 3.0 syllabus, levels 1 to 5. Every word has pinyin, a meaning and a clear native voice.

How you learn

Every new word: hear it, say it, write it, use it.

No word lists to memorise. Every lesson takes you through all four skills, in sentences you will actually say.

Hear it, say it

A clear native voice for every word — and you say it straight back.

谢谢xièxie · thank you

Write the characters

Trace every stroke in order on the 田字格 grid — and characters start to stick.

8 strokes · xué

Use it in a sentence

New words come back in real sentences, so you know how to use them, not just what they mean.

我学中文。I study Chinese.

Make it stick

PanJia brings each word back just before you would forget it — a few minutes a day is enough.

Practical Chinese

They ask. You speak up.

A second path beside HSK, for people who need to talk now. Each round is one real question and a sentence frame to answer it with. You say everything aloud, and the app listens and shows the words you missed.

  • 2,000+sentences said aloud
  • 700+real-life situations
  • 500+reflex situations
  • 150+lessons

Survival · Asking for helpAsk a stranger for a hand

Your turn

Order a milk tea just the way you like it

Buy a ticket and ride the metro

The ATM and the bank counter

Your age, phone number and dates

Ask a stranger for a hand

Reflex replies: hear a line, answer at once.

The short replies Chinese speakers use every day, drilled in the right moment until you no longer have to think.

  • Someone bumps into you and says sorry没事。méi shì
  • Your guest gets up to leave慢走。màn zǒu
  • Offered more food when you are full我吃饱了。wǒ chī bǎo le
  • A call where you can’t hear well听得见吗?tīng de jiàn ma
