Character Mine

This is a daily self-test program for learning Chinese vocab.

The program continuously encourages you to form connections between the new items you are learning and your existing vocabulary database. Your existing database of characters is presented as an interconnected web, allowing infinite drilldown.

Watch this Video Presentation to get an idea of just how this works.

The program is suitable for complete beginners because it lets you add items to your list giving just the Engish and pinyin. You can add the Chinese characters at the same time, or later on if you want to.

If offers a host of additional features such as one-click image search and flash-card style testing with randomized fonts.

New: Now also includes 100,000 + item Chinese/English dictionary.

This is fully supported software which is used by the author on a daily basis. Any suggestions for enhancements are warmly received.

The program uses Windows Installer, so if you decide it doesn't fit your needs you can remove it completely from your system via add/remove programs.
