Chinese is a language where grammar and syntax are very simple. The most difficult challenge faced by students in Chinese are vocabulary and pronunciation. That's where Learn Chinese 2003, the most advanced Chinese teaching assistant for Windows(TM), can bring a crucial trump card.
Learn Chinese 2003 provides a Chinese-English dictionary containing 16,000 characters (about all characters of modern Chinese) that you can select in personalized lists. A special set of 400 characters has been pre-selected by professional Chinese teachers as the most important ones. They represent the most used characters in modern Chinese (Talks, TV, newspapers, etc.). The beginner will aim at learning them first, because they represent 70% of commonly used characters.
User-personalized lists will feed the quizzes system - the software's core - so that the student can practice and test his/her knowledge. Being able to recognize characters from their pronunciation, selecting the right character among randomly selected sinograms (Chinese characters) are examples among the 6 exercises available. Statistics will help students monitor their daily progress.
Thanks to a unique modules system, users are able to build custom character libraries allowing to follow exactly their Chinese lessons on their textbook or in Chinese course. Cryptopowah is seeing this feature as an opportunity to let users share their knowledge and learning methods using the Learn Chinese 2003 platform.
Learn Chinese 2003 runs under Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP. A trial version is available for free on http://www.lchinese.com where it may be purchased securely for $31.99 US or 25.00 EUR.
