Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Hanlexon.

Getting Started

What is Hanlexon?

Hanlexon is an AI-powered Chinese language learning platform. It covers HSK levels 1–9 with structured curriculum, spaced repetition review, voice conversation practice, pronunciation coaching, reading, grammar, writing, and printable worksheets — all in one place.

Is Hanlexon free?

Yes. The free tier includes the full HSK 1–9 curriculum, spaced repetition review, and daily study plans. Pro ($59.99/year) adds daily AI conversation practice, pronunciation coaching, and full mock exams. Standard ($24.99/year) sits between, adding content creation and real HSK practice tests.

What makes Hanlexon different?

Hanlexon is built specifically for Chinese — not adapted from a multi-language template. One subscription covers HSK 1 through HSK 9, character-by-character writing practice, an intermediate-to-advanced reading library, AI conversation practice with pronunciation coaching, and full HSK mock exams including the new HSK 3.0 mandatory speaking section.

How do I start?

Sign up for free, take the diagnostic test to find your level, and follow your personalized daily study plan. Hanlexon will guide you through vocabulary, reading, grammar, pronunciation, and review — just follow the checkmarks.

What HSK levels are supported?

Hanlexon covers HSK Levels 1 through 9, supporting both the widely-used HSK 2.0 standard (6 levels) and the newer HSK 3.0 standard (9 levels, mandatory speaking from Level 3). A diagnostic test finds your current level, and your study plan adjusts as you improve. Read the levels guide →

How long does HSK 3 take?

From absolute beginner, most learners reach HSK 3 in 9-15 months at 30-45 minutes per day — about 400 hours total. From an HSK 2 baseline, 12 weeks at 30-45 minutes daily is realistic. See our 12-week prep plan for the week-by-week schedule.

Features

Who is Prof Hanlexon?

Prof Hanlexon (汉林老师) is your AI Chinese tutor. You can have voice conversations in Chinese, get pronunciation feedback, ask questions about grammar or vocabulary, and practice real-life scenarios — all through natural conversation.

What is spaced repetition?

Hanlexon uses the FSRS algorithm to schedule your vocabulary reviews at the optimal time for long-term memory. Cards you know well are reviewed less often; cards you struggle with come back sooner. The system adapts to your personal learning pace.

Can I practice speaking Chinese?

Yes. Pro users can have real-time voice conversations with Prof Hanlexon. You speak in Chinese, get instant feedback on pronunciation and tones, and see pinyin and translations on the virtual blackboard. Free users can try limited AI chat messages per day.

Can I print worksheets?

Standard and Pro users can print vocabulary worksheets, reading materials, and study guides as PDFs. Free users can browse all content online but cannot print or save as PDF.

For Teachers & Parents

Can I create a class?

Yes. Standard and Pro users can create classes, invite students, assign vocabulary and reading homework, and track student progress. Students can join for free.

Can parents monitor their child's progress?

Yes. Link your account to your child's and view their study streak, mastery level, completed assignments, and areas that need practice.

Is there a plan for schools?
