I hope you have as much fun
using this app as I did building it!

Quick Start
There are 1717 words and phrases to look
through. Favorites can be used for your favorites (of course),
but can also be used for words that need practice, words that
are similar or whatever you might think of. A list can also be
made by searching for specific english words.
There are three preset modes. Each preset is geared toward a
different approach. The delay time is set to 30 seconds to give
plenty of time for anything you aren't sure of. Click or tap
where the hidden text is for it to appear early.
For listening autoplay is checked, but when you go to the
'Phrases' tab DON'T click [Start]. The phrase will play
emmediately each time [Next] or [Back] button is clicked. Click
the sound button () at any time to hear the phrase.
Use this mode to build a vocalulary and to listning to how the
pinyin actually sounds.
For speaking and reading there is no need for the autoplay at
all since you don't want to hear the phrase before speaking
(from english) or reading (from characters) each word or phrase.
Games Have Been Added!
Two versions of multiple choice (eng to chin, chin to eng) with several settings to personalize your own study.
Only one version of this match-two game with one choice (dificulty). More settings/options will be added in the future.
I have plenty of space for more games as I think of them.
Other Extras
Double click (tap) the 'Phrases' tab to toggle the size of the
index number. This is the 'Index number / total in list'. Click
the index number part to enter a new index number. The index
number always reflects it's place in the current list.
He (他) or she (她) are both pronounced 'tā', so if you are in
listening mode be sure to look at the chinese characters as
well.
When there is an aterisk (*) in the play button () it means there is more than one
vocal sample. Click the play button again to here a different
voice.
Last but not least, click any of the Chinese characters to find
a little about it's meaning. Right now I'm using a really
lightweight Chinese dictionary I downloaded, so the meanings are
not always helpful.
