Find and match Chinese words with their meanings.

Opening ZiMatch…
Start with ten words and take your time.
Choose an untimed set and try to recall each meaning before selecting an answer. Keep pinyin visible while a word is new, then hide it to check your character recognition. Reverse the practice direction for a different challenge.
New words and words you miss appear more often in later rounds. Open the Word library to check a meaning, listen using your device's Mandarin voice, or unlock more words when you are ready.
Browse the short Mandarin lessons for original examples and focused practice sets. ZiMatch practices recognition; use it alongside reading, listening, and sentence practice to study how words work in context.
