Gushi
Learn Chinese for the new HSK 3.0, on phone and laptop
The Chinese exam changed: the new HSK 3.0 has nine levels and 11,000 words. Gushi covers all nine, in English, German, Spanish and French. Every character comes with its tone, its parts, a story that holds it and where its shape came from. Spaced repetition decides what comes back and when. Reading, listening, speaking, writing and mock exams in one app, on phone and laptop. And language schools can see how their students are doing on the Teaching Platform.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
We are two people in our 20s who fell for Chinese in Beijing, at Tsinghua, and later in Suzhou. Like a lot of learners we ended up in Anki: building our own decks, fixing them, keeping them alive. It worked, but it took hours before the first card was even ready, and reading, listening, speaking and writing never fit on a flashcard.
So we built what we wanted. Gushi is the whole language in one app, with spaced repetition deciding what comes back and when.
This year the HSK exam changed. The new HSK 3.0 has nine levels and 11,000 words, and most material has not caught up yet. Gushi covers all of it:
• Every character comes with its tone, its parts, a story that holds it, and where its shape came from (oracle bone, bronze, seal)
• Reading, listening, speaking with shadowing, and writing stroke by stroke
• Mock exams in the official format, and the HSKK
• A weekly league: thirty learners, a new race every Monday
• English, German, Spanish and French
Use your phone on the train and your laptop in the evening. It is one account with one review history: https://learn.gushi-chinese.online
The first month is free, and everything is included in both plans. Want longer? Write to us at paul.jacobi@gushi-chinese.com and we will send you a code for six months more.

We read every comment today. What would make you start (or restart) learning Chinese?
