Learn Chinese Essentials

I am a sophomore in high school (non native speaker) and have been taking Chinese since 4th grade. This app is very simple and basic for the most part but then there are some very diffucult characters that are unnesesary and out of place in this beginner app. In future apps I would like to see the writing of characters taughtbecause that is the most difficylt part in learning chinese. It would be good practice for veterens because stroke order and the memorization is very tough. Overall, pretty good app for beginners but some characters are out of place. You cant really LEARN how to speak chinese from this app but you can learn words. Speaking is way different ( tones and accents etc. ) so I would reccomend a tutor or class.

Very nice app. Works well, and is a great flashcard program. It includes all the options I need, including being able to switch between simplified, traditional, and pinyin. The only thing I am missing is the audio quiz should have chinese audio, and english or character choices. Right now it has english audio, which doesn't make much sense because I already know english. It would also be cool if the audio quiz would test tones. e.g. I listen to a phrase and I pick the correct pinyin. Thanks for the great app.

This app is great for learning vocab. I just learned +25 words in a few hours. I think it's gonna stick. This app is useless unless you have another source however, as it teaches no grammar or useful phrases. It really should have at least one of these thing.
