![]() For example, decks for characters or vocabulary depending on the level you want to reach. Anyway Anki works with decks so you have to find the best decks that fit your needs on the official website. The official app is on Android and Apple but Apple one cost money, you can also use unofficial apps. This should be used as a complement to other tools and apps because it will not teach you everything, especially the grammar.Īnki is a program invented to make you remember things easily. Of course I cannot talk about language learning apps without talking about Anki, this should be part of everyone path to learn a language by yourself, this is for me the best way to learn vocabulary and/or characters. So the kind of exercise missing is the one that shows you a character or a phrase (only characters) that you have to transliterate into pinyin and grammar exercises should be done sometimes with characters only (not always!). ![]() Now let's say you choose "characters only" well you will have to guess the pronunciation and that's great but sometimes you will put the right answer but actually you didn't know the pronunciation (because the pinyin is not shown) and no one will warn you that. Here is why: Let's say you choose to show both, the problem is that you will always look at the pinyin without caring about the characters and you will not really learn how to read recognize characters. ![]() The problem is that most apps will let you choose if you want the exercises in pinyin or characters of both, but we should not choose! You should put exercises with only characters and exercices with only pinyin and they should be different because you learn them differently. This problem is current with a lot of apps and there seem to be almost none that can find a way to teach that: You have to learn both pinyin and characters. What I don't like about HelloChines but also most apps: You have to make a good review system in your apps! A one that takes as a factor the time but also your weaknesses. And the best example is Duolingo that changed his review system from the intelligent one to the new one where you have to know by yourself when a unit is weak, the worst idea ever and this is why I stopped Duolingo. ![]() The intelligent review system is something that is often underestimated by apps. The review system that knows what you should review and what are your weaknesses is one of the best I have seen, you also have a possibility to choose by yourself what you know is weak. Also, the character writing learning system is great (but maybe it helps you too much sometimes). First, the exercices are great with a lot of different and challenging ones (with similar choices unlike most apps like Duolingo). There are a lot of things that I like about it: Also, I think they always miss to consider all apps so I will try to bring the ones I know and please add the ones you think can be better or should be considered.Īfter looking a lot around forums, I think HelloChinese is the one that is most widely liked by everyone. I know there are already a lot of this kind of post but it's good to have recap every now and then because this area evolves a lot and quickly.
