🇨🇳 Learn Chinese with Spaced Repetition
Master Mandarin Chinese characters, vocabulary, and tones with intelligent spaced repetition. The smart way to learn 中文.
Hanzi Character Memorization
Chinese requires memorizing thousands of characters, each with meaning, pronunciation, and tone. Spaced repetition is scientifically proven as the most efficient method for this. Uben's algorithm schedules reviews so each character appears at the optimal moment for long-term retention.
Tone Training Through Spaced Practice
Mandarin's four tones plus neutral tone are critical for comprehensibility. Create decks that pair characters with audio, Pinyin, and tone markers. Uben's spaced review ensures you practice tones you struggle with more frequently.
HSK Preparation Made Efficient
Organize decks by HSK level (1-9), by theme, or by radical. Import community-shared HSK vocabulary decks from the marketplace or create your own from textbooks. The SRS algorithm ensures you spend time on characters you haven't yet mastered.
Simplified vs Traditional Chinese
Uben supports both simplified and traditional character sets. Create separate decks for each or focus on one — the algorithm handles the review schedule independently for each set.
