Type Pinyin from Memory
HSK vocabulary cards ask you to produce the romanisation from memory, then reveal the correct spelling with tone marks so you practise the sounds you actually need to recall.
Learn Every Word in Context
Every card pairs its word with an example sentence and breakdown, connecting Pinyin to real Chinese usage instead of leaving pronunciation isolated.
