Paste any Chinese text, master every character.

Turn the articles, lyrics, and chats you actually read into a personal Chinese course — ranked by the words you’ll meet most often.

Free. No spam. We’ll email you the moment ChiChars goes live.

You don’t need more words.
You need the right ones.

Most apps feed you a fixed list. ChiChars ranks words by how often they show up — in real Chinese, and in your own texts — so you learn what unlocks the most reading first.

我每天早上七点起床，先喝一杯咖啡，然后去公园跑步。公园里有很多老人在打太极拳，他们都非常友好。跑步以后，我觉得很饿，就去附近的小店买包子。包子很好吃，我也很喜欢和中国朋友一起吃早饭，聊天。他们告诉我，学习中文最重要的是多说多听，不要害怕犯错。
