Learn Chinese Bigrams – Flashcards by WCC (IAP) at Mac App Store analyse

Ready to understand written Chinese even faster? Heres how it works: As anyone who has studied Chinese knows, any given single Chinese character nearly always has multiple meanings, often with completely unrelated definitions. Take the word "使" (shi3). Its definition includes meaning such as to make, to cause, to enable, to use, to employ, messenger, etc. Instead of "使" (shi3), our app will give you "天使" (tian1shi3) which has one meaning only: angel. Learning these bigrams first can be a great tool in understanding the general meaning of the individual character.
