Students learn to write one stroke at a time
Watch the stroke order animate, step through it one stroke at a time, then trace the character with a finger or mouse. Every stroke is checked as it is drawn, and a hint appears after two misses — no printing worksheets, no marking by hand.

The Problem
Reading a character and writing it are different skills. Beginners meet あ or 山 on a flashcard, recognise it, and still cannot produce it — because nothing showed them where the pen starts, which direction each stroke runs, or how many strokes there are. Handwriting worksheets fix that, but they are printed, silent, and a teacher only sees the result days later, if at all.
The Quizzz Solution
Stroke practice runs in the browser. Pick a language and a character set, watch the animation, then write it yourself: each stroke is matched against the correct one as the student draws, wrong strokes are rejected on the spot, and a hint appears only after two failed attempts so the student thinks first. Works with a mouse on a laptop and a finger on a phone.
What the Practice Does
Animated stroke order
The character draws itself in the correct order and direction, at a readable speed. Replay as often as needed.
One stroke at a time
Step mode animates a single stroke and waits. Beginners copy that stroke on paper or on screen before the next one appears.
Trace and get scored
The student draws over the outline. Each stroke is accepted only if it follows the right path in the right order, and the run ends with a mistake count.
Kana and hanzi
All 177 hiragana and katakana, plus around 9,500 Chinese characters — practise any character by typing it in.
Correct stroke counts
Looped kana (あ, の, ぬ …) are taught as the single stroke they actually are, so the count the student sees matches the textbook.
Embeddable
Drop the practice into your own site, LMS, or app with an iframe — students do not need a Quizzz account to write.
How It Works
Pick a language
Japanese (hiragana, katakana, kanji) or Chinese. Choose from the grid, or type any character you want to practise.
Watch, then write
Play the full animation or step one stroke at a time, then trace it yourself with a finger or mouse.
See the mistakes
Wrong strokes are rejected as they happen; the run ends with a mistake count and a jump straight to the next character.
Who It's For
Absolute beginners
Week one of Japanese or Chinese, when the alphabet itself is the lesson. Students build the motor memory that reading practice alone never gives them.
Heritage and weekend schools
Learners who can speak but were never taught to write. Practice at home between classes, without printed worksheets.
Exam handwriting sections
Tests that still require handwritten characters reward correct stroke order and count — this drills exactly that.
Teachers with their own site
Embed the practice next to your own lesson notes so students write where they already study.
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.
