Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

What is Hanlexon?

Hanlexon is a Chinese learning platform. It covers HSK levels 1–9 with lessons, spaced-repetition review, voice conversation, pronunciation practice, reading, grammar, writing and printable worksheets.

Is Hanlexon free?

Yes. At no cost you get the full HSK 1–9 curriculum, spaced repetition review, daily study plans, one full HSK mock test, and a daily allowance with Prof Hanlexon — voice conversation included. Standard ($24.99/year) adds saved content, printing, and unlimited full-length HSK mock tests. Pro ($59.99/year) adds classes and assigning work, and the most daily time with Prof Hanlexon.

How do I start?

Sign up, take the diagnostic test to find your level, and follow your personalized daily study plan. Hanlexon guides you through vocabulary, reading, grammar, pronunciation, and review — 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 bands, mandatory speaking from Band 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.

Who is Prof Hanlexon?

Prof Hanlexon (汉林老师) is your Chinese tutor. Talk in Chinese, get feedback on your pronunciation, ask about grammar or vocabulary, and practice everyday situations.

How does Prof Hanlexon teach a lesson?

Beyond free conversation, Prof Hanlexon (Beta) runs short guided lessons: it introduces a few words at your level with audio, pinyin, and meaning; has you practice by listening, choosing, and speaking aloud with tone feedback; then use them in a short exchange. What you learn is saved to your spaced-repetition review. You can start a lesson from Conversation, or from any worksheet or reading with “Learn with Prof.”

What is spaced repetition?

Hanlexon uses the FSRS algorithm to schedule your reviews. Words you know well come back less often; words you miss come back sooner.

Can I practice speaking Chinese?

Yes. Every plan includes daily voice conversations with Prof Hanlexon; Standard and Pro include more each day. You speak in Chinese, get instant feedback on pronunciation and tones, and see pinyin and translations on the virtual blackboard.

Can I print worksheets?

Browse and build in the editor at no cost — paste any text and preview the full worksheet. Saving and printing PDFs are on Standard and Pro; assigning to a class is on Pro.

For Teachers & Parents

Can I create a class?

Yes, with Pro. Pro lets you create classes and assign work; students always join free with a class code.

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?

Yes. A school plan is Pro for every teacher at your school, at a group price, and students join free. Buy it online, then invite your teachers; your admin manages seats, teachers and classes on one page. See Schools for the price.

Account & Billing

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from Settings → Plan. You keep full access until the end of your current billing period.
