Show HN: Chinese Learning Site – I made a free online version of the HSK books

https://learnchinese.ai/
1•qubitspace•2h ago
I made a website for learning Chinese. There are many already, but I think there is always room for new entries into the Chinese language learning ecosystem.

The Site: - Course is an online version of the HSK course books (HSK 1-2 done so far, 3-4 coming soon) including all the vocabulary, texts, and all the content/activities from the coursebook and workbooks. - SRS Flashcards - SRS Sentence speaking - Character writing tool (Stroke data is from MakeMeAHanzi) - Dictionary is from the MBDG Chinese Dictionary - I build it using Rails and StimulusJS (with AI help) - Uses a lot of TurboFrames/TurboStreams to make it interactive - Goal is to be mobile friendly and responsive. - I got AdSense approval so it will be a completely free ad supported website.

AI: - I use AI to build the site, transcribe the course, enhance the images, transcribe speech, generate audio, and for some minor supplemental content and formatting. - 99%+ of the course and content is not AI generated and is from the HSK courses. - I am exploring additional ways to use AI, but I am very cautious about the quality and accuracy of AI generated content.

I would appreciate any feedback about the site, whether you are learning Chinese or not.
