HSK 1 – 6 · English & 日本語

A practice scroll for real Mandarin, pressed one seal at a time.

Compass Chinese pairs a spaced-repetition vocabulary system with a real pinyin foundations course, grammar drills, AI conversation practice, and camera scan-to-explain — one connected curriculum from your first tone to HSK 6.

Not yet on the App Store — Compass Chinese is in final pre-launch preparation.

What's inside

Every mechanism a serious learner actually needs

Not just flashcards, and not just an AI chatbot — a curriculum that connects six different practice modes into one path.

Spaced-repetition vocabulary

Every word you learn re-surfaces exactly when you're about to forget it — HSK-graded, with real example sentences, not word lists in isolation.

Pinyin foundations course

A dedicated course for every initial and final, with articulation guidance and the specific mistakes learners from your language background tend to make.

Grammar, pattern by pattern

Cloze-style drills built around real grammar points, from HSK1 particles to HSK6 written-register constructions — not just "here's a rule."

AI conversation practice

Hold an actual conversation and get corrected in context — a lot closer to using the language than drilling isolated sentences.

Camera scan-to-explain

Point your camera at a menu, sign, or page of real Chinese text and get it recognized and explained on the spot.

Shadowing & pronunciation scoring

Record yourself against real reference audio and see exactly where your tones and pronunciation diverge — no guessing.

One path, six levels

A placement test finds your real starting point

New learner or already fluent in the basics — a short placement assessment finds your HSK level so you never repeat what you already know, or get thrown into what you don't.
