Learn whole sentences, not just words — pick a mode and work through 10 cards built from natural, everyday Mandarin.
Listen first
Hear the sentence before you see it — reveal the characters once you've understood it by ear.
Fill the blank
One word is missing from the sentence — pick the word that belongs there.
Translate & check
See the translation, think of the Chinese sentence, then reveal it and grade yourself.
Write the sentence
Hear a sentence, then handwrite each character in order — no peeking at the hanzi.
Error correction
Spot the one deliberate mistake in the sentence and pick the correct fix.
Build from translation
Read the translation, then assemble the Chinese sentence from shuffled word tiles.
Sentence expansion
Start from a bare sentence and build it up, one element at a time — time, then place, then manner.
