SayHanzi
Free, playful Chinese tools — with tap-to-hear audio
Most apps hit you with grammar on day one. SayHanzi does the opposite: it makes your first hour of Chinese fun. Get your Chinese name, find your zodiac, count, learn phrases, and drill HSK 1 — all with pinyin and tap-to-hear audio. Free, no sign-up.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
Every Chinese app I tried started with grammar drills — and I watched beginners bounce off in days. I wanted to flip it: make the first hour delightful, so people actually want a second one.
So SayHanzi opens with the fun stuff — "What's my Chinese name?", your zodiac, counting, everyday phrases, HSK 1 flashcards — each with pinyin and real Mandarin audio. All free, no accounts, no paywall. It's a static site, so it's fast and just works.
The vision: a friendly "front door" to Chinese that turns curiosity into a habit. Next up I'm weighing stroke-order practice and a tone trainer — what would you want to see? 🀄
love that the first hour is genuinely playful instead of throwing grammar walls at you right away. the tap-to-hear audio is a really thoughtful touch too, especially for someone trying to nail those tones from scratch.
Finally tried this and the chinese name generator is kind of charming, honestly spent way too long trying different inputs to see what i got back.
