muhadib2 Posted July 30, 2006 at 02:30 PM Report Posted July 30, 2006 at 02:30 PM While learning chinese at Tel-Aviv university in israel, i made a nice PHP site to help me with learning the chinese characters. the site is based on the princeton chinese books but can be used by anyone. I invite everyone to use it and tell me what they think... its totaly free and without any ads.... enjoy and good luck with learning, Guy Quote
self-taught-mba Posted July 30, 2006 at 02:48 PM Report Posted July 30, 2006 at 02:48 PM and the site is. . . ? Quote
adrianlondon Posted July 30, 2006 at 10:32 PM Report Posted July 30, 2006 at 10:32 PM It's a bit minimalist, but I like that sometimes. It's also good that it works even without a PC, or any form of internet connection. Quote
atitarev Posted July 31, 2006 at 12:35 AM Report Posted July 31, 2006 at 12:35 AM Why is Tel-Aviv in upper case and everything else that should be capitalised is in lower case? Is the Chinese taught in the same relaxed style on your web-site? What's the address anyway? Quote
Weronika Posted July 31, 2006 at 03:42 AM Report Posted July 31, 2006 at 03:42 AM Please please give us the web adress! Quote
roddy Posted July 31, 2006 at 04:02 AM Report Posted July 31, 2006 at 04:02 AM Well, I learnt all of those. Can I read newspapers yet? Will give muhadib a couple of days to come back and if he doesn't I'll then delete this one I think . . . Quote

seesaw Posted July 31, 2006 at 10:02 PM Report Posted July 31, 2006 at 10:02 PM 如果不需要每次都点"submit"而且能加上简体字是不是会更好？ Quote
muhadib2 Posted July 31, 2006 at 11:48 PM Author Report Posted July 31, 2006 at 11:48 PM well... my chinese is a bit rusty, but if i understand your comment right, you offered to drop the click submit each time - which i think its kinda nice to have cuz you can change your mind after the click, but i am open for improvments... second thing i understand you are offering to add the simplified chars, which i am working on, i can also tell you guys these days i am working on a couple of improvments in the interface as well as adding the "Trip to china" vocabulary as my second book. peace, Guy Quote
Mugi Posted August 1, 2006 at 01:32 AM Report Posted August 1, 2006 at 01:32 AM Great idea! Wish this sort of thing had been around a few years ago! You may want to consider adding tone marks to your pinyin. Also, I would tend to make the choices a little more difficult (perhaps a separate level) - use the same initials and/or finals. eg 早 zhao / zao / cao / chao or zao / zuo / zui / za At the moment, it's very easy. You could also create a further level that also differentiates the tones. eg 早 zhao2 / zhao3 / zao2 / zao3 Quote
gato Posted August 1, 2006 at 01:50 AM Report Posted August 1, 2006 at 01:50 AM Would you be willing to make your source code available, so others interested can add more features perhaps? Quote
seesaw Posted August 1, 2006 at 11:36 AM Report Posted August 1, 2006 at 11:36 AM well... my chinese is a bit rusty, but if i understand your comment right Yes, you did. which i think its kinda nice to have cuz you can change your mind after the click It's not a nuclear missile launch facility. But maybe you're right. Maybe it's just because I am a native Chinese speaker. Quote
muhadib2 Posted August 2, 2006 at 10:54 AM Author Report Posted August 2, 2006 at 10:54 AM first of all i would like to that for all the nice comments. second, regarding the php code - its kinda my baby, i am working on this site for some time now and it evolved along the way from my first VB based program that turned into this site. i am a very good php programmer, if i like any of the ideas or features pepole advice me to add i will add them. besides, this site involved a lot of work for the simple reason you dont need chinese fonts on the computer, everything is already built in. could be that i will release it when i am done or to specific group of pepole that would like to assist in the future. about the adding the tones, check out the help section and the settings menu, you can configure the interface of the flashcards. thanks again, Guy Quote
