Description
Master Japanese, Korean, and Chinese by writing every character stroke by stroke — the way native speakers actually learn.
HeyWrite teaches correct stroke order through guided drawing practice on your phone. Unlike flashcard apps, your muscle memory does the memorizing — characters stick because your hand remembers them.
-- WHY STROKE ORDER MATTERS --
Research shows handwriting beats passive study. Every character you draw in HeyWrite follows the exact stroke sequence used in Japan, Korea, and China — the same method taught in schools there. Correct stroke order makes your handwriting readable and speeds recognition.
-- THREE LANGUAGES, ONE APP --
JAPANESE
* Hiragana & Katakana (kana): all 46+46 characters with stroke order
* Kanji: JLPT N5 through N1 (2000+ kanji organized by exam level)
* Hear native-speaker pronunciation for every character
KOREAN
* Hangul: all consonants and vowels with stroke order
* TOPIK 1 through TOPIK 6 vocabulary
MANDARIN CHINESE
* Hanzi: HSK 1 through HSK 9 (3000+ characters)
* Simplified characters with stroke-by-stroke guidance
-- HOW IT WORKS --
1. Trace — follow the stroke guide to learn correct order
2. Write free — recall the character from memory without hints
3. Quiz — multiple-choice review to reinforce retention
4. Spaced repetition — smart scheduling brings back characters right before you forget them
-- COMPLETE OFFICIAL CURRICULA --
* JLPT N5, N4, N3, N2, N1 — full kanji and kana sets
* HSK 1–9 — complete simplified Chinese character lists
* TOPIK 1–6 — full Hangul writing syllabus
-- FREE TO START --
Hundreds of characters are free. Upgrade to Premium for unlimited access to all JLPT, HSK, and TOPIK levels and every feature.
PERFECT FOR:
* JLPT test-takers who need kanji writing practice
* HSK candidates building Chinese character recognition
* K-pop and K-drama fans who want to read and write Hangul
* Beginners who tried Duolingo or WaniKani but want real handwriting
* Anyone replacing Skritter who wants a mobile-first experience
