Master Mandarin. Conquer the Dungeon.
Learn a Language. Build a Warrior.
Zilong is a Chinese language learning app that covers the complete HSK curriculum from level 1 to level 9 — all 10,500+ vocabulary items, from your first words to professional fluency. Every word you master makes your RPG warrior stronger in battle.
Study with science. Fight with what you know.
How It Works
Study — Spaced-repetition flashcards bring each word back at exactly the right moment, locking it into long-term memory before you forget it.
Quiz — Multiple-choice questions, listening challenges, reading comprehension, and grammar lessons reinforce what you’ve studied.
Battle — Enter dungeons and fight monsters by answering vocabulary questions. Correct answers deal damage. Your mastery score becomes real combat power.
Progress — As your Chinese improves, new dungeons unlock, your warrior grows stronger, and rare hero classes become available to discover.
Everything You Need to Reach HSK 9
- Full HSK 1–9 vocabulary with example sentences and pronunciation
- Spaced-repetition scheduling (SM-2 algorithm) for every word, sentence, and grammar point
- Mandarin tone practice with real pitch analysis — not just multiple choice
- Stroke-order animation for character writing
- Grammar lessons covering aspect markers, measure words, coverbs, complements, and more
- Graded reading, classical poetry, folk stories, and songs
- Dialogue practice, translation drills, and sentence construction exercises
- Pinyin chart, radical reference, confusable word pairs, and chengyu idioms
- Daily study streaks, challenges, and achievements to keep momentum
The RPG System
Zilong’s dungeon system isn’t a distraction from studying — it’s the reward for it.
Roll a warrior from 41 character classes spanning five rarity tiers, from common Fire Wizards to the legendary Ancient Dragon. Equip gear that scales with your actual study data: a Streak Blade gives you +2 ATK per day of your real study streak. A Scholar’s Quill gains power as you master more vocabulary.
Fight through 10 dungeons tied to HSK levels, each with a roster of monsters and a boss that requires your best Chinese to defeat. Clearing a dungeon unlocks the story of what lies beyond, and the next floor of your language journey.
Who Zilong Is For
Zilong is for learners who want to take Chinese seriously. Whether you’re starting from zero or pushing through the advanced HSK levels, the app adapts to where you are and what you need next.
The spaced-repetition engine handles the scheduling. The guidance system tells you when you’re ready to move up a level. You just have to show up and study.
