The MyChineseFlashCards dictionary
MyChineseFlashCards's goal is to help beginners or mid-level learners in chinese to be able to read a newspaper. Instead of providing a traditional dictionary, we chose to design a dictionary specifically designed to reach that goal. This dictionary has the following features:
- only the 1,500 most usual characters, are provided. These characters are normally enough to be able to read a Chinese newspaper and understand most of its contents. Thus, the learner doesn t waste time learning rarely used characters,
- the characters are sorted from the most frequently used character to the less frequently used,
- new characters are introduced only in combination with characters already learned. Benefits are twofold: learning the new combination is much easier. Besides, the review of the characters already learned helps the memorisation,
- the history of the character and the category it belongs to is provided, helping the student to memorize it.
At the time of this writing, the dictionary contains 1,500 characters. But in the end, the dictionary will contain 2, 000 characters. To achieve this task, 100 characters will be added every month.
Up to now, we provided MCFC with the dictionary for free. However, preparing, reviewing and updating the complete dictionary, is taking us more and more time. That's why, we can no longer offer the complete dictionary for free.
There exists two versions of MyChineseFlashCards :
- MCFC light version (can be downloaded free of charge),
- MCFC full version (costs 29 € or 38 $).
