Engaging and effective learning method Pandanese's teaching methodology is truly engaging and has enabled me to consistently learn and review Chinese characters. The sequence of radicals and characters is designed so that you gradually learn harder and harder concepts, by building upon and reinforcing simpler ones. The learning experience isn't faultless though.Tthe spaced repetition system is good in principle, but it becomes a bit unfeasible as levels increase. It is common to find cards with faults, which hampers my learning. Nevertheless, I greatly enjoy learning Chinese with Pandanese and hope that the developers can keep on improving it.

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.
