Develop your Chinese vocabulary & pronunciation with this flashcards. To start learning the Chineasy way, just pick a card & flip it over! The Chinese language is traditionally taught through a series of between roughly 180 & 215 radicals. These radicals are then used to form the characters of the Chinese language. Chineasy has broken down this collection of characters into their most basic & recurring forms, allowing students to learn fewer & simpler radicals that we have termed building blocks. One building block, or a specific compound form of the building block can be combined with one or more other characters to make a compound character. Two or more independent characters can be placed next to one another to make phrases. In compounds, a whole new character is created; in phrases, the placement of characters next to one another gives a new meaning to the collection of characters. This principle of building blocks is what makes Chineasy so easy! ...
