Features & roadmap

Last updated: 2026 · what this site does today, what is coming next, and what we deliberately left out.

What you can do here today

Everything is free, needs no sign-up, and is generated in your own browser (nothing is uploaded).

• Fill-in-the-missing-strokes sheets — print a character with its last strokes left out for the student to complete.
• Tone colouring — colour characters, pinyin or both by tone, in the classic red / orange / green / blue scheme.
• Classroom paper games — bingo cards with a caller sheet, word search with answers, and matching sheets.
• Word lists you keep — save your own word lists in the browser and export them as CSV.
• Chinese writing sheets — character sheets, single big character, large-grid, horizontal-line, blank grid paper, and 12 grid styles: 田字格, 米字格, 回宫格, 长回格, 米长回, 田长回, 九宫格, four-line, five-line and more.
• Strokes & structure — stroke order sheets, stroke names, radical examples, radical practice, character structure hints.
• Pinyin — full pinyin chart (tap a syllable), pinyin writing practice with the four-line grid, tone practice.
• Words & sentences — word sheets, word lists, word building, sentence making, word practice with pinyin.
• Reading & calligraphy — classical poems, seven-character poems, vertical (right-to-left) writing, long articles, name tracing sheets.
• 16 short lessons — greetings, everyday phrases, shopping, travel, business & trade, restaurant, directions, seeing a doctor, time & dates, bank & renting, money & numbers, metro & bus, emergencies, customs, numbers 1–10, the 8 basic strokes.
• Printable quizzes — choose the pinyin, true / false and matching, built from the characters you pick, with an answer key page.
• Translation practice — write the prompt and the Chinese, then print blank rows for the student; an optional answer key is included.
• Festival writing paper — decorated paper for nine Chinese festivals, with a themed border, seal and nine writing styles.
• Sentence copying sheets — paste any sentences and print a copywork sheet with pinyin and blank rows.
• Character details — look up any character for its pinyin, stroke count, radical, structure, common words and stroke order, then jump straight to a practice sheet.
• Measure words — the 26 most common ones with pinyin and example phrases.
• Character poster — one huge character per page (A3) for the classroom wall.
• Fully adjustable — 15 handwriting fonts, A4 / A3 / A5 portrait or landscape, 6–20 cells per row, tracing depth, ink and grid colours, page border width.
• Built for everyone — the whole interface is available in 10 languages (English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Русский, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, العربية), worksheets print or export to PDF in one click, and the site works offline.

That was the whole roadmap — every planned feature is now live. New ideas come from teachers, so if something is missing for your class, tell us below.

Not planned — and why

These are all possible, but each one needs paid data, a server, or a large download — and they would break the promise that this site is free, account-free and works offline. We would rather keep the site fast and private:

• Native-speaker audio — needs thousands of recorded audio files.
• Online handwriting recognition — needs a large recognition model running in the browser.
• Bopomofo (注音) data — needs a separate pronunciation data set.
• Dictionary definitions in 10 languages — needs a licensed dictionary.
• Accounts and cloud storage — needs a server and login, which this site deliberately avoids.

Missing something?

If a feature would help your class, tell us through the contact details on this site — requests from teachers decide what gets built next.
