Flip two cards. Match a character with its English meaning to clear the board.
Memory matching is one of the most effective ways to lock in the link between a character and its meaning. Flip two cards, find the pair, and the association sticks. Each round uses six random characters from our growing library, so no two games are alike.
Once characters feel familiar, challenge yourself with the Listen & Choose game (sound → meaning) or the Radicals & Meaning quiz.
How many pairs are there? Six pairs (twelve cards) per round; press Restart for a fresh set.
Does it teach pronunciation? Cards show the character and its English meaning; for sound, use the Listen games.
