Flash cards have been shown to be one
of the most effective ways for learning a foreign language.
It is especially true for learning the Chinese language.
In this book we collected the 150 Chinese words from HSK level 1. The
words are presented in flash cards format. To facilitate easy learning,
these words are organized into the following themes: Adjectives,
Adverbs and Other Functional Words, Home and Faimly, Positions, Food
and Drinks, Greetings and Conversations, Measure Words, Numbers,
Pronouns, At School, Time and Day, Around The Town, Verbs, and Other
Common Words.
These 150 Chinese words are from the new HSK. The new HSK is geared
towards words that are used daily and practically.
The Chinese words are presented in Simplified Chinese form. One Chinese
word will be shown at at time. The flash cards were designed such that
you can pick a random word to test yourself using the "Random" link, or
you can pick an adjacent word using the "Previous" or "Next" link. To
flip a flash card to see the Englsih translation and pinyin for a
Chinese word, simply click on the "Flip" link.
The Chinese words and pinyin are presented in pictures. Thus you do not
need to worry about the encoding of your Kindle device.

I like this series of cards,
and just downloaded Level 4. I only use these cards on my phone (Lumia
1520 – Windows Phone.) I feel that that is the best format for going
through flash cards. As I am currently on the 4th set of these cards,
my review takes into account everything that I have seen in all sets
1-3.
Cons:
1. Each "flash card" should have a number. That would let you know how
many characters you have memorized. For instance, if you were planning
on memorizing a certain number a day, it becomes hard to keep track
once you try to do 20+ per day.
2. Some of the groupings of characters made it too easy to guess the
next character, i.e. placing numbers and colors together. The groupings
of the characters should be more randomized.
3. I have found that for me the random link did not work very well. It
appeared that at times it would only cycle through say 10 of the
characters at a time.
4. If you use the random link, you will have no way of knowing when you
have gone through all of the characters.
5. I have found that some of the characters in the series are repeated.
i.e. 向is in the 2nd and 3rd set of flash cards.
6. It is a little misleading to say that there are 150 characters in
the series. Some characters, with more than one meaning, are shown for
each meaning i.e. 对
7. The groupings of characters should be more evenly spaced out. The
author grouped them by subject. I do not believe that this is
necessary, furthermore it makes some of the characters easier to guess
when you’re going through the set (i.e. if you’re going through the
verbs group, for each character you already know that it is going to be
a verb.) All in all, you end up with some groups which have as little
as 1 character, and other groups which have 30-40 characters. It would
be better if each group had say 10 characters. That would make it
easier to memorize each group. This can be fixed using kindle’s
bookmarking feature, however that is work that the author should do.
8. The characters are presented as pictures. This makes the characters
easier to read, however it makes any type of searching impossible.
Pros: They are flash cards.
Don’t be fooled by the long list of cons, and relatively short list of
pros, I like these flash cards very much. They are simple and get
straight to the point. Here is the character, on the back is the
definition and the pinyin. I feel that this is the best way of
memorizing the characters. Good luck in your studies.
