Flashcards help you remember words by testing yourself a few at a time, until each one comes back without looking. These sets cover the 200 most common words, 96 everyday phrases, the 20 tone pairs, 48 radicals and 48 first characters, plus 96 picture cards for young children.

Print a set on card, cut it out and test yourself from both sides. By the end of a set you can say and recognise every card in it. Most sets have free audio for every word.
