Learn Chinese with an amazing dictionary and flash card system.

trainchinese will teach you Chinese, with a free and complete dictionary, thousands of vocab lists, example sentences, audio recordings, measure words and character animations - and a powerful flash card system featuring handwriting training!

• Our dictionary prioritises commonly-used words and phrases above the obscure and obsolete, while example sentences and measure words (classifiers) provide crucial context to help you decide which Chinese word is the most appropriate translation. Other dictionaries just leave you guessing!

• trainchinese is great for students: it includes more than a thousand vocabulary lists covering topics from International Relations to American Football Teams and more. Feel like somethings missing? Users often get in touch to ask for lists on the topics theyre studying, and were happy to oblige! Youll also find lists containing HSK-level words (both old and new standards), plus TOCFL lists for students in Taiwan!

• Whether youre studying the Simplified (mainland China and Singapore) or Traditional (Hong Kong and Taiwan) variants, weve got you covered! Easily switch between them or choose to display both in dictionary results and on flash cards. Even better, you can use the phonetics youre comfortable with - choose from Pinyin with tone marks, Pinyin with tone numbers or even Zhuyin characters (from the BoPoMoFo system used in Taiwan).

• Search for words by part of speech - simply type the abbreviated type followed by a period (.). For example, "ma n." gets you "ma" words that are nouns.

• Words feature both example sentences and measure words for nouns. Its time to move beyond "个"! And best of all its all connected: tap examples and measure words to open them as full dictionary entries.

• Highlight words with the mouse for super-fast access to character animations, related searches and more!

• Create flash cards with audio and animation from dictionary entries. Organise them into lists, and share them with friends (or students).

• Our Spaced Repetition system ensures youll memorize words for good.

• Train your way: each card is available in four different modes to test different aspects of Chinese study. See Chinese, Pinyin or English and get tested on translation, and even compare your handwriting to a stroke-order animation side-by-side, synchronized! Or if you prefer, theres multiple choice training too (for a real challenge, try it in "Dictation" mode!).

• Flash cards are saved on your computer and synchronized with trainchinese.com, where you can also train with them and find more great content.

• Add study notes to your flash cards - theyre saved and backed up at trainchinese.com.
