Chinese Audio FlashCards is a foreign language vocabulary learning tool by Declan Software. The Chinese version includes around 5,700 words and phrases each with a native speaker audio recording. Words are organized into approximately 125 WordFiles with each WordFile containing up to 100 words. This version teaches Mandarin Chinese and uses simplified characters as used in Mainland China (The Peoples Republic of China, PRC).
The Learning List: The words are learned based on a Learning List. The Learning List contains a subset of all the words in the WordFile – 10 words by default (although this can be changed by users). The Learning List allows users to concentrate learning a small group of words at any one time. Once a word is learned (by reviewing the Learning List and completing the Exercises) it is removed from the Learning List and is replaced by another, as yet unlearned word from the WordFile. This continues until the whole WordFile is learned.
Exercises: Words in the learning list should first be Reviewed using the “Review Learning List” option. Then users can move to the Exercises which include the Meaning Exercise, the Word Exercise, the Spelling Exercise and the Listening Exercise. Once all the exercises have been correctly completed, the word is marked as complete, removed from the Learning List and replaced by a new word. However, if the user gets one answer wrong in any of the exercises, then all the exercises must be completed again for that one word. This ensures comprehensive learning and retention.
Managing the Learning List: After a new WordFile is loaded the Learning List size is automatically set to 10. The number of words in the Learning List can be set by adding or removing words to the Learning List in the “Review Words” feature. In the “Task” menu select “All Words in WordFile” and then return to the main page. The select “Review All WordFile Words”. As you progress through the words in the WordFile words can be added to and dropped from the Learning List using the “Add to Learning List” / “Drop from Learning List” button. If you end up changing the number of words in the Learning List, that number will be maintained as words are learning and dropped from the Learning List, and new words are automatically added the Learning List to replace learned words.
Loading new WordFiles: To switch to another wordfile simply press the “Load Another WordFile” button and then select the WordFile you desire from the “Load WordFile” table. Audio FlashCards comes preloaded with 3 WordFiles – all other WordFiles are downloaded by the application as required using an (WiFi or 3G) internet connection.
Other language versions of FlashCards available in the Mac App Store include French, Spanish, Italian, German, Chinese (Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Bahasa Indonesian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Greek and Hebrew. Free.

true native-speaker audio?
Very Nice Flashcard App
Very nicely put together. The different exercises approach memory from different angles (sound, meaning, etc.), and you only work on 10 cards at a time. If you quit the application in the middle of an exercise, it picks up where you left off. The layout is very intuitive -- you just progress down the buttons on the left side of the window. Vocabulary is organized into different semantic classes, such as animals, body parts, etc. It should be noted that the application deals with simplified characters, and that the focus is on recognizing characters, not writing them from memory.
bad
this hardly teaches u anything and im in chinese class for 2 years and this is not the way to go
Easy Chinese
Very helpful, fast and reliable. It really makes you work on it.
great program!!! one critical flaw for me
I am a person attending college this fall and wanted to dip my feet in the water for languages to see which one(s) I am more likely to enjoy. I downloaded this and thought it was great until the audio feedback for the words never changed!!! I know the difference in characters but the voice feedback is not working.
