Why most people quit

Too gamified or too much work.

Anki

  • Spaced repetition: the most efficient way there is to not forget something again
  • Hours before the first card stands: finding the right deck, checking it, fixing it, keeping it alive
  • Hard to learn the whole language: reading, listening, speaking and writing do not fit on a flashcard
  • Plain flashcard drilling gets boring fast

Duolingo

  • Learning is fun, because it is a game
  • Compete with your friends
  • Slow and inefficient: a lesson tree paces you, and your memory does not get a vote
  • Barely any progress at the advanced levels
  • No learning experience shaped around you

Gushi combines the strengths of both.

Gushi
01

Every character and every word the new HSK 3.0 asks for.

To the HSK 3.0 hub →

The Gushi library: the HSK 1 tab open, 246 characters, 299 words and 45 grammar points counted at the top, and the characters below as a grid of tiles, each one showing the character, its pinyin in the tone colour and its first meaning.
02

Reading, listening, grammar, speaking, writing, and using it. All in one app.

The Gushi Today screen: the decks grouped by skill: words and articles under reading, words by ear and the tone drill under listening, then grammar, sentence and paragraph shadowing under speaking and tracing under writing, each with how far HSK 3 has come.
03

Statistics that show where you stand and what is not sticking.

The Gushi Today screen with the heatmap: 3 cards done, 1,068 to review and 20 new, and below them the last weeks as a calendar of green squares; the darker the square, the more was studied that day.
The Gushi statistics screen: 437 characters known, 511 words in rotation, 62 % of an average page readable, current level HSK 3; below them the five skills with the ground each has covered, and a section naming the rarest character you know, the one you forget most and the hour you usually study.
04

Test yourself on the new HSK 3.0 exams.

The Gushi exam hall: the nine HSK levels as tabs and three mock exams for level 1 with the scores already reached.
05

Keep up with your friends, and with everyone else learning Chinese.

The Gushi league: this week’s ranking with each learner’s rank, name, characters known and current streak, and the XP each of them has earned this week.
06

Spaced repetition: the shortest way through, at your own pace.

How spaced repetition keeps what you learn Two curves over time. Without review, recall decays steeply and keeps falling. With Gushi, each review returns recall to full and the next one is scheduled further out: after one day, then three, then eight, then twenty-one. 100% 90% a review lands here, just before you would forget without review 1 day 3 days 8 days 21 days with FSRS
