The Power of the Personal Vocab Bank

Most Chinese learning apps treat flashcards and reading as separate activities. You memorize a list of words, then go try to read a story, only to find you don't know half the characters.

Literate Chinese changes that. Our integrated Personal Vocab Bank tracks every word you've learned. When you browse our library of stories, we show you exactly what percentage of the story you already know (e.g., "95% Known").

You can even toggle "Pinyin" to appear only above the words you haven't learned yet, forcing your brain to rely on characters for the words you know. It's the most efficient way to bridge the gap between flashcards and fluency.
