Every character, stroke by stroke.

Each character plays a stroke-order animation showing the correct sequence and direction, then you trace it yourself on screen. Watching first and writing second is the classical drill — the app simply makes the model patient and repeatable.

Yes — tracing practice responds to what you actually drew, so a wrong stroke or a reversed order gets noticed in the moment, not corrected a week later by a teacher's red pen.

Completely. HanziStroke is local-first: characters, pinyin, radicals, and study content live on the device. It works on a plane, in a rural classroom, and anywhere the Wi-Fi is merely theoretical.

Children are the heart of it, but adult Chinese learners use it the same way — stroke order, pinyin, and radicals are exactly what a learner of any age needs to write characters that other people can read.

Pinyin support and radical awareness are built in alongside the writing drills, because a character is easier to remember when you know its components and its sound — not just its shape.
