你好

nǐ hǎo

hello

你好，老师！

Nǐ hǎo, lǎoshī!

Hello, teacher!

Chinese isn’t harder. It’s different: four tones that change the meaning, characters built like words, a grammar with no conjugation. Hanlu teaches you that difference, stroke by stroke.

Listen

Same syllable, four tones, four meanings. Every syllable is color-coded by tone and every word plays in one click. Try it: tap a tone to hear it.

Write

Stroke order for all 3,000 official characters: watch it drawn, then trace it yourself, guided stroke by stroke.
