Study free pre-made word lists

A major struggle I faced was getting the lists of words I wanted to study into a flash card app. Often, I would learn words and my wife would laugh at me I had accidentally added words that were only used thousands of years ago. Adding my own words to the popular flash card app Anki, took hours and was really manual. We developed WeHanzi to solve these pain points, providing curated word lists and the ability to add words to a list with one click!
