Welcome to trainchinese Desktop.

Learn Chinese with us.

There are many reasons you may have decided to use trainchinese. Perhaps you're an HSK student cramming for exams. Maybe you're planning a business trip to China. Maybe you just feel like learning Chinese for fun. Whatever the reason, we've got something for you and we're glad to have you with us!

Get your account.

The first thing you'll need is a free user account. You can go to trainchinese.com, or you can apply from this app (tap "Settings" on the main menu and then click the "Request free account" button). Don't forget that you need to confirm your registration by clicking the link in the e-mail we send you.

Once you're signed up you can begin immediately. You have four options for learning your flash cards:

  1. right here in trainchinese Desktop - on Windows, Mac and Linux*;
  2. online at trainchinese.com;
  3. on your Java-enabled mobile phone;
  4. on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Whichever you choose, or however many, your cards are "synchronized" across devices, meaning that you always take the same set with you wherever you go, whether online or offline. Once you've got your flashcards, you don't need an Internet connection to train - only to get new flashcards and process ones that were learned.

We've designed trainchinese to be as flexible as possible to aid your learning process. To find the full range of configuration options, including the method trainchinese uses to automatically choose cards for you, go to trainchinese.com and log in. You'll also find that our massive database of training cards is organised by subject matter and learning level, so you're sure to find the right words in no time.
