From a word to a whole worldYou’ve met the words.
You’ve met the words.
Now follow the story.
Every example in this library comes from an Inklingo story. Read at your level, listen to the narration, and tap a word whenever you need its meaning.
- Pick a story that interests you.
- Tap unfamiliar words as you read.
- Save the ones you want to remember.
A little guidance before you start
What’s the best way to learn Chinese vocabulary?
Start with a small set of useful words. Recall their meanings in an exercise, then read their story examples. Save words you want to revisit and return to them over several short sessions.
Can I practice without an account?
Yes. Browse the library and use all five exercises freely. Create a free account when you want to keep a word in your Word Bank and review it later on the web or in the app.
Why does a word have several meanings?
The right translation depends on the sentence. Open any word to compare its meanings, pictures, and original examples instead of memorizing a single translation.
Are these words for beginners?
You can filter by the reading level of the stories where each word appears, starting at A0 or A1. That tells you about the story’s difficulty; it is not a certified level for the word itself.
Learn the meaning, not just the translation.
A word can express different ideas in different stories. This library brings its meanings, images, and examples together. The level filter refers to the source story’s reading level, not a certified level for the word. Translations are available in 25 languages; interface explanations are in English. Free practice progress stays in this browser. Save words to your account to keep them in your Word Bank.

From a word to its meaning in a story
Chinese words can carry different meanings and readings in context. Open a word to explore its cached senses, Pinyin and original examples. Story levels describe the source story, not an official HSK label for the word.
