Frequently asked questions

Are there printable Chinese flashcards with pinyin?

How should I study with flashcards?

Say the answer out loud before you flip the card, and only count it as known when the tone is right too. Put the cards you miss back in the pile and keep the known ones for a review a few days later.

Are there flashcards for Chinese tones?

Yes. Chinese Tone Pair Flashcards has a tone pair chart and 80 cut-out word cards, four for each of the 20 tone pairs, to hear, say and sort, with audio for every word.
