App Description

Chinese 365 is a tool for building Chinese Vocabulary. It presents 365 practical vocabulary words that are used in daily life that the reader can gradually learn by learning one vocabulary word a day for 365 days (roughly one year, although you can read everything in a few days if you wish to do so :) ). The 365 vocabulary words presented in this app are not only useful in daily life, they are also the vocabulary words that one has to know when preparing for the Chinese Language Proficiency Test (HSK: Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì; 汉语水平考试; 漢語水平考試). This app contains pretty much all of vocabulary words for HSK Level 1 and HSK Level 2, and 'some' from HSK Level 3.
Level 1 and 2 are the Beginner levels of the HSK. So this App helps in preparing you for the Beginner Level exams of the Chinese Proficiency Test.

Special Features:
1.) By tapping the vocabulary word for the day, the pronunciation of the vocabulary words will be played. This can be used as a guideline on how to properly pronounce the word.

2.) By tapping the example chinese sentences that uses the vocabulary words, the pronunciation of the individual words that make up the sentence will be played, which the reader can use as a guideline on how to pronounce the sentence properly.

3.) Care has been taken in the example sentences in a way that we have as much as possible used the words that have been introduced in the app.

4.) Vocabulary Words are presented in 'both' Simplified (as used in China) and Traditional (as used in Taiwan) Writing.
