Mandarin Drill Lab
Add words with tags L18-L25 or idioms, pick which tags to drill, choose the batch size, and see pinyin first so you can handwrite the hanzi before revealing it. Meaning is optional. Shared vocab is built in; your additions stay local.
You see pinyin first. Write the hanzi, then reveal to check.
