The Chinese App for College Students

A Chinese app for college students has two jobs: keep you on top of this week's vocab quiz, and build the real reading ability your degree is supposed to add up to. Chenjin does both.

Mark what your course has covered, read graded articles that match it, and drill what slips.

A Chinese app for college students: the Chenjin library of graded articles by HSK level

Sync the app to your syllabus

The vocabulary map lays out the full HSK 1 to 7 word list. Paste in what your course has covered and mark it known in minutes; from then on, every article in the library shows a familiarity meter based on your real vocabulary, not a stranger's.

Character homework, explained

Tap any word for stroke order animations, the radicals it's built from and why, and the word families it belongs to. It's the difference between copying a character twenty times and understanding it once.

Train for the listening quiz

Dictation mode plays a sentence and has you type, cloze, or speak it back, with per-character feedback on what you missed. It's part of the Plus plan (7-day free trial), and it's the closest thing to a listening exam you can do on a couch.

Study breaks that still count

When your brain is done with the textbook, the games hub has escape rooms, mystery cases, and shop scenarios where reading Chinese is how you win. Free, and tagged by HSK level so they play fair wherever you are.

Frequently asked questions

Will this replace my textbook?

No, and it doesn't try to. Chenjin covers the input side: reading and listening volume at your level, plus spaced repetition. Your course provides grammar instruction and speaking practice; this is what makes it stick.

Is there a student discount?

Not currently, but most of what a student needs day to day is on the free plan: three library articles a day, the full dictionary, the vocabulary map, games, and flashcards with a daily cap of new cards.

Can I study on my phone between classes?

Yes. The mobile app syncs with the website, so flashcards on the bus and reading on a laptop are the same account and the same progress.
