WenHu - Learn Mandarin Chinese Characters

WenHu is a new way to Learn Chinese characters and Mandarin words.

WenHu uses the world’s first word-reveal method, with Mandarin words broken down into their much simpler components and radicals.

These components and radicals appear one after another until you select the correct multiple-choice English translation. Challenge yourself against the clock to improve your Chinese character recognition, fluency rating and global ranking.

WenHu word packs are arranged by:
- Phonetic Components - that provide a clue to the pronunciation of the character,
- Radicals - that can confer a meaning to the word,
- Packs based on Topics; or
- Sets of Common Usage words.
Look out for our FREE word packs.

WenHu players can engage with 3 different game modes.

Word Challenge Mode: where you strive to maximize the number of words that can be played in a row, with a wrong answer ending the game.

Time Trial Mode: that challenges you to work against the clock to pick as many correct translations as you can, with bonus time for correct answers and a time penalty for wrong answers. These modes are both used to calculate your fluency score and global ranking.

Practice Mode can be used to improve game play at your own pace.

As you play WenHu, improving your in-game fluency and collecting achievements, you improve your Chinese character and Mandarin word recognition. Your fluency rating and achievements are displayed in the statistics for every word pack as well as your overall success.

In-App Purchase of additional word packs are available on the Apple App Store.​
