Chinese Example Sentence Bank

One search in the Chinese Example Sentence Bank turns a single word into a full set of graded, real-usage examples—each tagged with HSK level, pinyin, and English—ready to export as flashcards in seconds.

Whether you're building an Anki deck or double-checking how a word actually shows up in context, the Sentence Bank pulls example sentences without making you hunt through textbooks. It's free, runs in your browser, and requires no signup.

How it works

Type a word in hanzi or pinyin—like 觉得 (jué de)—and the tool returns example sentences that use it. Each result includes pinyin, an English gloss, and the HSK level, so you can filter for difficulty or match what you're currently studying. When you've got the set you want, export everything as a CSV file for Anki or your preferred review app.

Who it's for and what you get

Flashcard makers get ready-to-go cards with pinyin and HSK tags. Teachers can pull graded examples for class without building them from scratch. And anyone who just wants to check real usage can scan sentences at a glance instead of guessing from a dictionary entry alone.

Once you've found your sentences, you can hand them off to live speaking practice with Mei Lin—say the examples out loud and get instant feedback in conversation. For grammar questions that come up along the way, the Chinese Grammar Coach checks a sentence and gives you drills to say aloud. If tone accuracy is the bottleneck, the Mandarin Tone Pair Trainer drills tone pairs with quick listening prompts and immediate scoring. You can also browse the full index of free SayMei Chinese learning tools.
