CharGem

Learn to read and write Chinese—not just recognize it.

CharGem takes children from tracing to writing from memory, following a grade 1–6 curriculum with real sentences, listening, and games. Start on the web or iPhone/iPad and keep learning with the same account.

THE LEARNING LOOP

Trace it. Hide the guide. Write it yourself.

/ 01

Read and write

Children trace each character stroke by stroke, then remove the guide and write it from memory.

/ 02

1,944 characters

Grades 1–6 are organized by term and lesson, so practice follows a clear progression instead of a random word list.

/ 03

Meaning in context

Characters come with pronunciation and useful words, and 1,619 of the 1,944 carry a real example sentence—not a shape in isolation.

/ 04

Built for families

Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Zhuyin and Pinyin, no ads, and an optional account for progress across devices.
