RUAbout Pandanese I travel a lot and have never had problems in Europe with English. This winter I want to try China and South East Asia and I need to know at least the fundamentals. What I liked in Pandanese is mostly learning method: 1. The correct ordering - first radicals, second characters, then vocabulary. So I can understand how the vocabulary is built up. 2. Space Repetition. I am forced to review items regularly and at the right pace. 3. Story mnemonic. I remember items and keep them in mind. What I really miss is the mobile app. Perhaps, this for a reason, but I would definitely try it.

PTPANDANESE helps everyone learn Chinese The PANDANESE method and cards are truly fabulous. Even though learning Chinese requires lots of work, making sense of all the radicals and characters, and memorizing all of them with their meanings and reading, the cards are great, and the iterative strategy is perfect. Thank you immensely. Keep up the good work! It is really worthy of excellent appraisal.

GBI love this app I love this app! The spaced review makes learning fun and easy! I highly recommend this app to learn Chinese characters.

JPTotally worth the money!! Totally worth the money!!, I usually learn characters with my own Mnemonics and Anki cards but this site already has their own mnemonics plus they make you review it over and over until you learn it. I love it!

GBPretty good with lots of potential I have been using Pandanese for 9 days now and so far I really enjoy the program. It’s the closest thing to a Chinese version of WaniKani although it is definitely at an earlier stage of development. I like the use of colors to designate the vocab, radicals, and characters as well as the spacing and ease to just use numbers for the tones instead of trying to fumble with accent marks. Some suggestions that I would think would make it better are: -Possibly color coding (preferably) OR creating mnemonics for the tones since they are a super important part of the language and does need to be memorized. -The quality of the pronunciation voice does the job but can definitely be improved. -Some of the mnemonics don’t make the most sense and some of them don’t even have the word included in some way. Maybe create a 5-10 word title mnemonic that’s easy to stick and then have a few sentences to aid/supplement that main sentence. -Having a separate traditional Characters version would be cool but I would focus on getting the simplified version down before beginning that. Overall I liked it so far and do plan on continuing to use and upgrade, hopefully see it improve and grow as I work though it.
