Learn Chinese like a game.
Start in Qingshan Village.
HanQuest turns Chinese into an RPG. Walk into a village, order noodles from an AI shopkeeper, say every line out loud — 5 story chapters and 25 quests, playable right here in your browser.
Everything a beginner needs, wrapped in a game.
A journey, not a checklist
Travel a living map of China. Each city is a themed chapter with its own vocabulary, scenes, and boss dialogue — progress feels like an adventure.
Speak with AI characters
Order noodles, haggle at a market, ask directions. Type or talk back and an AI shopkeeper replies in Chinese, adapting to your level.
Say it out loud, not just in your head
Every line is spoken for you and the pinyin is colour-coded by tone. Read it back and on-device speech recognition checks you said the right words — nothing you say leaves your phone.
Six ways to practice
Dialogue, multiple choice, sentence building, hanzi puzzles, matching, and open-ended AI chat — the same word, drilled from every angle.
Remember what you learn
A spaced-repetition engine tracks every character from new → mastered and resurfaces it right before you forget.
English & Arabic, done right
The whole interface speaks your language — English or fully right-to-left Arabic — and chapter one explains every word in Arabic directly, without detouring through English. Later chapters are being translated by native speakers.
From zero to your first conversation.
