What this mode practices

The vocabulary comes from Taiwan's own proficiency exam rather than the HSK standard, so the characters are Traditional and the word choices are the ones used in Taiwan. Everything runs in the browser: choose the item count, shuffle if you want, and no account is needed.

Recommended study routine

Start with ten items and the meanings visible until each reading comes without hesitation. Then raise the item count and drill the symbols you keep missing from the results screen.
