Frequently Asked Questions
What is Write Chinese Characters?
A free, mobile-friendly toolkit for practicing Chinese handwriting: an online tool where you type pinyin or Chinese text, watch the stroke-order animation, and trace each character on screen in the correct order — plus a generator for printable practice worksheets (字帖) as vector PDFs.
How does stroke order practice work?
Each character is shown as a faint outline in a Tian Zi Ge or Mi Zi Ge grid. Trace the strokes in order with your finger or mouse; a wrong stroke shows an orange hint and a shake.
Does it include pronunciation and HSK levels?
Yes. Every practice card shows pinyin and, where available, an English gloss and the official HSK 3.0 level (HSK 1–6 and HSK 7–9). Tap the speaker button to hear the pronunciation.
What worksheet grid styles can I print?
Tianzige (田字格), Mige (米字格, with diagonals), and plain square grids in three sizes, with optional pinyin, stroke-order breakdowns, and light tracing guides. You can add a Name · Date · Class header or a custom title.
Is it free?
Yes, both the online practice tool and the worksheet PDF generator are completely free to use, with no account or registration required.
