About PocketZi

Hey! My name is Adriana. I've been studying Chinese since 2020, and somewhere along the way I realized that this is a lifetime commitment (I'm probably not alone here 😄). After almost 5 years of using other apps and feeling frustrated by certain features or limitations, I decided to try and build my own dream study tool — one where I could practice character strokes, save all my favorite sentences, and study anywhere — even 30,000 feet in the air.

I still have so many more ideas for features I want to add, but even just building what's there now turned out to be a much bigger task than I had imagined...

So I'll keep improving it little by little. And, in the meantime, I hope it can help you on your own journey to learn Chinese. 加油!🙌🏻
