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. At no cost you get the full HSK 1–9 curriculum, spaced repetition review, and daily study plans. Standard ($24.99/year) adds saved content, printing, and unlimited full-length HSK mock tests. Pro ($59.99/year) adds Prof Hanlexon voice conversation and pronunciation coaching on top.

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, 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 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.

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 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. The free tier includes daily Prof Hanlexon messages to try.

Can I print worksheets?

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

For Teachers & Parents

Can I create a class?

Yes. Any teacher can create a class and invite students with a join code at no cost. Assigning homework and tracking results come with Standard; students always join at no cost.

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. School plans include all Pro features for every seat, plus teacher dashboards, roster management, LMS integration, SSO, and FERPA/COPPA compliance. Per-seat pricing is quoted per school — contact us.
