Simple but Effective Of the different websites and softwares I have come across to help me better understand the characters, Pandanese is far away the best with consistency in writing and speaking. The flash card model only takes up 5-10 minutes of your time during any one sitting. Review happens over an increasingly longer period to help refresh your mind even months down the line. What I would say makes this product great is the support team. They scheduled a one-on-one demo to show me features of the site and clarified any questions I had about what to expect from the product as I continue to use it. They have even been helpful when I use other software that is teaching me skills of reading and dialogue. The support team wants to see success from their clients and will go that extra mile even when they don’t see the direct benefit. That is a company that is doing business right. In the future, I hope to see more support for traditional Mandarin and not just simplified, but it still serves its purpose effectively.

Learning tool Have been on Pandanese for about 6 months and have learned thousands of new words. Due to its repetition system, it helps to remember the words. I would recomend Pandanese to everyone who wants to learn Chinese.

Using this with my friends in Singapore… Using this with my friends in Singapore to develop the Chinese language..

This is a very fast and effective way… This is a very fast and effective way to learn basic characters. The review process is what makes it so effective as well as the mnemonic selection of characters.

About 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.
