Learning any language is difficult, but it all begins with the vocabulary. Flashcards are a very effective tool for studying vocab in the most flexible manner possible: they can be used by one person or with study partners; they can be taken anywhere.

Learning to read Chinese vocab allows a language student to learn both orally and visually, which is a more thorough learning method than just  using the usual pinyin. This results in the ability to interact more fully in the culture by learning to understand what you hear and see around you.

These flashcards have been developed by drawing on the most effective learning methods and experiences of beginner, intermediate and advanced students learning Traditional Chinese using beta flashcards. This latest version has been laid out and produced as a result of extensive trial use and improvements.
