App for learning chinese characters

Hi ! I'm just wondering what language would be adapted to build a small app to learn chinese characters (like it shows a character and you have to name it or something) and what are the advantages of this language for this project ?

Mobile app development requires you to start with Java / Kotlin for Android, or Swift / Objective-C for iOS. For various reasons, you *might* see faster results if you decide to develop a web application instead, by learning HTML, CSS, and JS. I have been doing a lot of web recently, so I am biased to recommend this path. Considering that you are halfway through the HTML courses I reckon it would be a good idea. It's never too late to explore mobile app development after you've finished learning how to develop a web application anyway.

Kibele It depends largely on where your app is supposed to run on. Mobile devices? Desktops? Web browsers? In fact, most languages can achieve what you've described. The deciding factor would be the platform that you intend to develop for, instead of the mentioned features.

Maybe it would be good to learn some useful frameworks when time has come to develop your app. E.g. React can be used for web and React Native for apps, one syntax to learn for both deployments.
