Write Chinese Characters with the Correct Stroke Order
Chinese Characters is a free handwriting practice tool for learners of Mandarin. Enter any Chinese character or pinyin (for example nihao), watch the correct stroke order play as an animation, then trace over the character yourself in a Tian Zi Ge or Mi Zi Ge grid.
Every character includes pinyin, pronunciation, an English gloss where available, and its official HSK 3.0 level — from HSK 1 to HSK 9 — so you can practice exactly the vocabulary you need.
What you can do
- Type pinyin with a regular keyboard and get Chinese characters instantly — nihao becomes 你好.
- Watch the stroke-order animation, then trace each stroke with your finger or mouse.
- Get an orange hint and a shake when a stroke is written in the wrong order.
- Hear the pronunciation and see the English meaning and official HSK level for every character.
