Purpose-built for Chinese.

Every other app bolts Chinese onto a generic language engine. Longtang was designed from day one for characters, tones, and radicals — and nothing else.

WORD MAP

You've never seen your vocabulary like this.

Other apps give you a number. Longtang gives you a map. Seven concentric rings — one per HSK level — with every word positioned by topic. Food words cluster together. Time words cluster together. You don't scroll a list; you see the entire language laid out in front of you. Faint dots are words you haven't touched. Amber means in progress. Solid means locked in. Pinch to zoom from 10,700 words down to a single character. This is what knowing Chinese actually looks like.

TEXT READER

Any Chinese text. Yours in seconds.

Share a WeChat message, copy an article, paste homework from your tutor — Longtang segments every word instantly. Tap to look up, tap again to save for review. The reader color-codes what you already know, what you're learning, and what's new, then tells you your comprehension percentage and the text's HSK level. Save all new words in one tap. Every text you read is saved, so you can come back later and see how much more you understand. This is what 'bring your own content' actually looks like.

Everything else you'd expect. And then some.

HSK 1–9. Day one.

10,700 words from the full updated HSK 3.0 standard, organized, and mapped. No deck downloads. No community imports. No 'is this the right list?' Just open the app and start.

Share it. Study it. Done.

See Chinese in WeChat, Safari, or your email? Share it to Longtang and the text lands in the reader — segmented, tappable, ready to save. Or just copy it and Longtang spots it on your clipboard when you switch back.

Print it. Stick it on the fridge.

Character practice sheets with stroke order guides. Vocabulary cheat sheets. Pocket flashcards you can cut out. A radical reference poster. All generated as PDFs from your own word lists and progress.

Six ways to test yourself.

Character <-> definition. Listening. Handwriting trace. Smart mix. Each one hits a different part of your memory. Rotate through all six and watch what happens to your recall.

See how every character is built.

Animated color-coded stroke diagrams for 9,500+ characters. Radical structure, stroke order, construction logic. The difference between memorizing a shape and understanding a character.

Your lists. Your rules.

Words from this morning's article. Restaurant vocab for your trip. Create any list you want. A word can live in five lists at once. Review by list or review everything.

Those apps give you their content. Longtang turns yours into a classroom.

People who take Chinese seriously use Longtang

I share articles from WeChat straight into Longtang and save all the new words in one tap. It replaced Anki, Pleco, and that tone app I could never remember the name of.
Sarah K.
The tone pair drills found my blind spot — I was confusing 2nd and 3rd tone on almost everything. Two weeks later my tutor noticed the difference.
Thomas R.
I printed character practice sheets for my weakest 20 characters and stuck them on the fridge. No other app does that.
Lena W.
I paste my homework into the reader and it tells me the HSK level, detects grammar patterns, and highlights words I don't know yet. It's like having a tutor look over my shoulder.
