Learn Traditional Chinese Characters
Learning traditional Chinese characters is the right call if your life points at Taiwan, Hong Kong signage, classical texts, or family. Most apps treat traditional as an afterthought; in Chenjin it's a display option you can flip anywhere.
Read the library in traditional, see both forms on every dictionary lookup, and paste traditional text into the free converter.
Read everything in traditional
One toggle switches the reader's display between simplified and traditional, with optional pinyin above the words you haven't learned yet. The whole graded library, HSK 1 to 7, is readable in the script you're committed to.
Both forms, every lookup
Every dictionary entry shows simplified and traditional side by side, so whichever script you meet, its counterpart is always in view. Character pages add stroke order, radicals, and word families on top.
Paste traditional, get pinyin
The free Chinese to pinyin converter reads traditional input natively: paste a paragraph from a Taiwanese site and get word-aware pinyin with tap-for-meaning, no account needed.
Frequently asked questions
Should I learn traditional or simplified first?
Learn the one you'll use. If your life points at Taiwan or Hong Kong, start traditional; the guide below covers the trade-offs. Chenjin lets you flip the display any time, so the choice isn't a lock-in.
Are the HSK levels still relevant for traditional learners?
Yes, as a difficulty scale. HSK is a mainland test, but its levels grade vocabulary usefully no matter which script you read, and Chenjin uses them to grade reading difficulty.
Do the games and tools support traditional?
The reader and dictionary are the traditional-first surfaces, and the pinyin converter accepts traditional input. The games currently display simplified.
