Quick Start

  • There are 1160 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 ealy.
  • 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.

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 ther 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.
