Jinan Chinese (暨南《中文》) + Hanlexon
AI-generated worksheets, flashcards, and stroke-order practice for any Jinan lesson.
Quick answer
《中文》, published by Jinan University's College of Chinese Language and Culture (暨南大学华文学院), is one of the most widely used curricula in overseas Chinese weekend schools worldwide, designed for heritage learners abroad. Hanlexon does not redistribute the Jinan series' copyrighted vocabulary lists; instead, teachers paste each lesson's vocabulary into Hanlexon and the platform generates aligned worksheets, flashcards, stroke-order grids, and printable assignments for that specific lesson. Teachers build and browse in the editor at no cost — worksheets, flashcards, and stroke-order grids for any lesson; saving, assigning, and printing are on Standard ($24.99/year), and heritage-school plans are quoted per school.
What the Jinan series is, and what teachers struggle with
《中文》 from Jinan University (暨南大学华文学院) is a multi-volume series built for overseas Chinese education (华文教育) — heritage children of Chinese descent who hear Chinese at home but attend school in another language. It uses simplified characters with pinyin and emphasizes character recognition, reading comprehension, and cultural literacy, rather than HSK exam prep.
The textbook is solid. What drains teachers — most of them weekend volunteers with a couple of hours of prep for a 90-minute class — is everything around it: per-lesson vocabulary worksheets, flashcard drills, stroke-order sheets, rosters, grading. Hand-making those each week eats the whole prep budget. Hanlexon turns it into paste-and-generate.
Three steps to use Hanlexon with your Jinan class
Roster your class
Add your students by name (no school emails needed). One class is included at no cost.
Paste the lesson's vocabulary
Open the worksheet generator, paste this lesson's Jinan vocabulary, and choose formats: fill-in pinyin, stroke-order grid, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank sentences, or printable flashcards.
Assign or print
Assign to the class in-app, or download as PDF for paper homework (assigning and printing are on Standard). Students complete on paper or on phone/tablet; AI grading (Pro) scores the mechanical work, so you spend your time writing feedback instead of marking.
Beyond Jinan
The worksheet generator is curriculum-agnostic. Schools using the Ma Liping series, Meizhou (美洲华语), Integrated Chinese, or a custom curriculum use Hanlexon the same way — paste the vocabulary, generate aligned materials, assign to class. The classroom roster and AI grading work identically across curricula. Whichever textbook your school uses, Hanlexon is the layer underneath it.
