Skritter helps you write Chinese characters almost as if you were writing by hand!
Imagine drawing a character on a piece of paper but instead of traditional paper, this one is intelligent. It remembers if you drew the character right the last time, when you drew it and when you should practice it next, to learn it the easiest. Simple enough for students, powerful enough for expats.
Our students remember 88.4% of the characters they learn with us! Sounds too good to be true?

Look, we get that you are skeptical. Most other programs out there teaching Chinese are promising the world. If you’ve tried them and not learned what you wanted, it is hard not to be skeptical.
Many our of team members felt the same before they tried Skritter for the first time. They liked it so much that they are now part of our small team.
In fact, most of our team speaks Chinese at a high level. Some even took university degrees in teaching it as a second language after learning it themselves. When we learned it, we realized that just having an app –any app– doesn’t work. We needed the right one.
So for more than ten years, we’ve been building Skritter to be what we wish we had and with one goal in mind: to make it easier to master the Chinese characters.
We’ve built our own spaced repetition system to help you learn faster and more efficiently. Just when you are about to forget a character, we’ll bring it back so you can review it.
We also created this fun little guy, the critter above, so you can look at something a little prettier than us when you are learning. Although we may just show up in the app to help you nail those extra challenging topics.
In fact, we’ve created the best video course on learning the characters that we know of. And we are giving it to you for free inside the app.
We work closely with our students to create new features and make sure that you don’t just feel like you are learning the characters but that you actually remember them.
Their favorite thing about Skritter is how many different topics you can practice. Besides learning the stroker order and how to write the characters correctly, some of the most popular topics are:
- Ordering and making coffee or tea
- Chinese HSK 1-6
- Cooking verbs
- Taking a taxi
- Numbers 1-10
- Popular movies like Star Wars or Avengers
- Provinces and regions in China and Taiwan
- Zodiac signs
- Recycling
- More advanced topics like yoga, going to the gym and emotions
That means you can for example practice for your HSK test or learn to read restaurant menus with the app.
Imagine going to a Chinese restaurant with your friends and being presented with a menu without pictures of the dishes. What are you going to do? Guess and hope for the best?
We think there is a better alternative: eat the delicious dishes you wanted and impress your friends at the same time! In fact, here’s what some of our thousands of students say:
Look, we don’t want your money if this isn’t for you. All we ask is that you try it out for yourself. That’s why we’ve created our 7-day free trial!
