ReadWrite Chinese software teaches the top 1000 frequently used Chinese characters, with flashcard review and exercises to track progress. Stroke order animation and interactive practice included.
As a language learning software, ReadWrite Chinese is designed to teach the 1000 most frequently used Chinese characters. The program offers both a simplified and traditional version to cater to different learning preferences.
The software's main feature is the "Learning List" which groups a sub-set of the total 1000 characters, allowing students to focus their efforts on a smaller number of characters at any given time. The Learning List is designed to maintain a constant size, as a character is automatically replaced by an unlearned one after it has been mastered. However, users can also manually modify the size of the Learning List by adding or removing characters.
To gauge users' progress, the software includes various exercises that assess their understanding of each character. A character graduates from the Learning List only after all the exercises for that character have been correctly answered. It's worth noting that the exercises must be answered correctly consecutively; if a user makes a mistake, they must redo all the exercises for that character.
The exercises included in ReadWrite Chinese are Meaning Multiple Choice, Pinyin Pronunciation, Pronunciation Tone, Stroke Order, and Grid Search. These exercises help users to learn the different aspects of the characters thoroughly.
The Review feature comes in the form of flashcards, allowing students to preview all the essential details of each character. The feature displays the character's stroke order (with animation), meaning, pinyin pronunciations, and a few examples of its use in Chinese words or phrases.
In addition, the software includes a stroke order practice that provides users with real-time practice at writing the character. The practice is not mandatory for graduation from the Learning List, but it is an extra feature that helps students perfect their writing skills.
Overall, ReadWrite Chinese is a comprehensive software that helps users learn Chinese characters systematically. The Learning List, exercises, Review, and stroke order practice work together to give students a well-rounded learning experience.
