Popular Post Vivid Chinese Posted November 19, 2018 at 03:12 AM Popular Post Report Posted November 19, 2018 at 03:12 AM Hi, My name is Karen. I was a high school Chinese teacher in Ohio, USA for several years. Recently I created a website for people who are teaching or/and learning Chinese. I thought about using infographics to learn Chinese when I was a teacher because I found some of my students are visual learners. The infographic types of materials helped them tremendously. All the infographics in my website are free. I have made about 30 infographics so far. They are categorized to 3 groups, culture, grammar and vocabulary. The website is VividChinese.com. Culture infographics: https://vividchinese.com/category/infographics/culture/ Grammar infographics: https://vividchinese.com/category/infographics/grammar/ Vocabulary infographics: https://vividchinese.com/category/infographics/vocabulary/ Hope you find this website useful! 8 Quote
mungouk Posted November 19, 2018 at 02:45 PM Report Posted November 19, 2018 at 02:45 PM A lot of of work has clearly gone into those, thanks. HSK vocabulary organised thematically is something I would find especially useful. Have you got any further than HSK 1? The website isn't too easy to navigate though... have you considered using clickable infographics or a slightly more dense site map to provide an overview of what's there? A wordy list of blog posts takes a while to browse through. 1 Quote
Vivid Chinese Posted November 19, 2018 at 03:32 PM Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 at 03:32 PM Hi, mungouk, Thank you for your feedback. I did spend a lot of time making those. I plan to make until HSK 2 by mid next year. Not sure if I will go up since the vocabulary list is very long. But I will try! Yes, we plan to make the site easier to navigate. We hope we will have a website update before the end of the year... 3 Quote
amytheorangutan Posted November 19, 2018 at 03:38 PM Report Posted November 19, 2018 at 03:38 PM Hi Karen, Thank you for sharing. It looks really promising. I think I might be a visual learner myself. I hope I will see more pre-intermediate to intermediate level contents and I agree with @mungouk regarding the navigation. I know nothing about web design so unfortunately I can't give constructive suggestion but I also find the blog style posts a bit fiddly. 1 Quote
Vivid Chinese Posted November 19, 2018 at 04:29 PM Author Report Posted November 19, 2018 at 04:29 PM Hi, @amytheorangutan You will (I hope)!! I plan to make the website big enough to cover at least most common grammar and vocabulary. Quote

艾墨本 Posted January 28, 2019 at 07:40 AM Report Posted January 28, 2019 at 07:40 AM These are all great! Have you considered dropping the English translation or moving it to a glossary? This would further leverage the strength of images that already contain the conceptual meaning of the words. Quote

Hi @艾墨本, I am glad you found them useful!! Moving the English translation to a glossary is something in my mind and like to do in the future if the website still running! Those will be great for the advanced learners. Quote
