Learn to write Chinese characters in the right stroke order
Watch a hanzi draw itself, step through it stroke by stroke, then trace it with your finger or mouse. Every stroke is checked as you write, so there are no practice sheets to print or mark by hand.

The Problem
Recognising a character and writing it are different skills. Learners meet 山 or 學 on a flashcard and know what it means, yet cannot write it, because nobody showed them where the pen starts, which way each stroke runs, or how many strokes there are. Printed hanzi practice sheets cover that, but they are silent and static, and the teacher only sees the result days later, if at all.
How Quizzz helps
Chinese stroke practice runs in the browser. Type any character, watch the animation, then write it yourself: every stroke is matched against the reference path as the learner draws, a wrong stroke is rejected on the spot, and a hint appears only after two failed attempts so they think first. It works with a mouse on a laptop and a finger on a phone or tablet.

Features for Chinese practice
Hanzi stroke animations
Each character draws itself stroke by stroke, with the direction of every stroke visible. Replay as often as needed.
Pause after each stroke
Step mode shows one stroke and then pauses, so a child can copy it into a notebook before the next stroke is revealed.
Write over the outline
Learners write over a faint outline of the character. A stroke counts only when its path and order are right, and each round ends with a mistake tally.
Traditional and simplified
Around 9,500 Chinese characters in both traditional and simplified forms. Type any character to practise it.
Pick your own characters
Type the new characters from this week's lesson or textbook chapter and practise exactly those, in the order you choose.
Embeddable
Embed it in a class website or LMS with an iframe; students can practise Chinese characters without creating an account.
How It Works
Type a character
Enter any traditional or simplified character, such as one from this week's vocabulary list.
Watch first, then write
Watch the full animation or go one stroke at a time, then write the character yourself with a finger or mouse.
Check your mistakes
A wrong stroke is stopped immediately. When the character is finished you see how many mistakes were made and move on to the next one.
Who It's For
Beginners learning their first hanzi
Week one of Chinese, when writing 一, 人 and 大 is the lesson. Build the hand memory that reading pinyin flashcards never gives.
Heritage and weekend Chinese schools
Children who speak Chinese at home but are only now learning to write it. They can practise at home without printed practice sheets.
Handwriting tests such as dictation
Dictation and handwritten exams reward correct stroke order and count. Instant feedback shows where a learner goes wrong.
Teachers with a class website
Place the practice beside your lesson notes or LMS page so learners write Chinese characters right where they revise.
Self-Study Learners
Studying for JLPT, TOCFL, or any language exam on your own? Pick a topic, let AI generate practice questions, and drill at your own pace. Track your weak areas over time — no teacher required.
