Lexxio · Mandarin
Learn Mandarin the way it's actually written.
Master hanzi, stroke order, and Pinyin, then gradually move from pronunciation support to real Chinese reading, all inside one adaptive reader.

The Pinyin course
Hanzi, pinyin, or both. You choose.
Start sounding words out in pinyin, add hanzi once you're ready to recognize them, or drop pinyin entirely and read like a native speaker. Switch anytime, everywhere Mandarin text appears.
Pronunciation right above every word.
What you get
Built for a script Latin-language tools weren't.
Every stroke, in order
Watch any character animate stroke by stroke, step through it one stroke at a time, or test yourself with a practice quiz that checks direction, not just shape.
Pinyin, everywhere you read
The same hanzi/pinyin/both toggle follows you through the reader, Explain, and Translate, so you're never fighting the tool to see what you actually need.
Read aloud that gets the tones right
Neural text-to-speech tuned specifically for tonal Mandarin, so tones land right instead of flattening out like generic TTS voices do.
The full Lexxio library, in Chinese
70,000+ public domain books, graded to your level, plus Lexxio Originals. It all works the same in Mandarin as in every other language we support.
Pinyin that fades out as you learn
We're building adaptive reading: pinyin stays above characters you don't know yet, and quietly disappears above the ones you've already learned, so the crutch comes down naturally as your hanzi recognition grows instead of all at once.
No flipping a global switch and hoping you're ready. The page adapts character by character, tracking what you've marked known as you go.
Be first through the door.
