Skritter is the #1 app for learning how to write Chinese and Japanese characters. You choose the vocabulary lists, you set the pace, and Skritter handles the rest—a writing coach in the palm of your hand. Say goodbye to forgotten characters, tone mistakes, and your pile of flashcards. Say 你好 or こんにちは to the language learning app from the future you’ve been waiting for.

Total beginner? The Skritter Chinese 101 and Japanese 101 lists will take you through the basics. Using a textbook? We’ve got 260 of the most common textbooks. Want to study your own words? Make your own lists in no time—Skritter automatically fills in the readings, definitions, audio, character decompositions, and even top mnemonics. Heisig, radicals, HSK, JLPT, ChinesePod, 4000 user-created lists—it’s all right here.

The problem that Skritter addresses is one of long term retention. The belief underlying the product is that active recall on every prompt, paired with a spaced repetition system, will be able to increase the ability of learners to master a language more quickly.

Available on web, iOS, and Android, Skritter is available both for individual learners and for schools.
