Hanzim

Hanzim is an excellent Chinese character learning-aid application that is designed to ensure that memorizing characters and words becomes a breeze. The software uses the structure of characters to help you understand them better, rather than making learning difficult. The main window of the software displays characters that have the same radical, phonetic component, or pronunciation as the character of interest. The bottom three panels show the relevant characters, while the left and right panels display words that use the character.

Apart from this, Hanzim also comes with a reader window that allows you to load Chinese text, which can then be read with pop-up annotations. Additionally, the software features a search window that appears to let you find characters by individual components or search for words based on their pronunciation with or without tone information.

Moreover, Hanzim can also work effectively as a fast and easy dictionary, where you can look up characters by Mandarin pinyin, Cantonese Jyutping, radical, or English definition. You can also paste a character from a browser or any other program on your desktop for an instant view. In conclusion, Hanzim is an all-around complete solution for anyone looking to learn Chinese characters and words effectively.
