The tools · 六件工具

Six tools, one list of characters

Each one lives on its own page and opens in a click. All six are working prototypes you can try now. Hanzi Studio keeps building new tools — and for anyone already subscribed, every new tool is a free upgrade at no extra cost.

01

This Week in ChinaWeekly topics · three levels

Every week, a new topic from everyday life in China — the same story written three times at HSK 1–3, 4–6 and 7–9, each with three levels of questions, so you learn the language and the country together. One printable PDF pack per week.

02

HSK Colour-CoderAny text, levelled

Paste any article and every character is coloured by HSK level, so the distance between your child and the page becomes visible in one glance. Export the colour-coded text together with a clean word list, sorted by level and ready to become tomorrow's worksheet.

03

Pinyin Dictation Maker拼音听写 · 默写, from sound to stroke

Build your own write-from-pinyin practice book: type any word list, and out comes a numbered dictation sheet — pinyin on top, empty grids below, a score box for the grader and a separate answer key. Made for teachers, parents and classmates to swap, dictate and mark each other's work.

04

Repetition Planner1 → 3 → 7 → 14 days, already dated

Whatever gets learned enters a 1 → 3 → 7 → 14 day cycle. Paste the list, and the planner prints the dates for you: a 21-day matrix, one tick box per day, plus blank practice grids in four styles.

05

DIY Blank Book空白字帖本 · your rules

Good paper, your rules: four grid styles (田 · 米 · 空 · 回), rowed pages with pinyin strips or full-page grids, three densities and four printable page borders. Export a whole 2–8 page A4 book in one click — empty squares waiting for whoever sets this week's list.

06

GoodNotes Worksheet Kit4:3 pages, made for a stylus

Pages sized 4:3 for GoodNotes and Notability, with a linked table of contents, five fading stages per character and a QR code back to the stroke animation. Write with a stylus, erase the page, and use it again next week.
