Sets of Flash Cards

Flash cards are still one of the best ways to learn Chinese. Since they take a lot of time to prepare, we would like to make predefined sets available for different textbooks and language tests.

Unfortunately, neither are all sets complete, nor is all information correct - however, we hope that they can still help you with your studies. The flash cards are prepared directly from the information in our dictionary and updated on a regular basis, so you will always find up-to-date data on this page.

We would, of course, appreciate if you could help us eliminate errors and add missing information, so that together - with less individual effort for everyone - we can prepare better study aids.

Language classes and study groups can use a common vocabulary list that is shared among their members - if you are interested, please contact [email protected].
