www.Omniglot.com is one of the world’s leading websites dedicated to writing systems and languages.
Leafcutter Studios worked with Omniglot’s founder, Simon Ager, to create an app to help Chinese language learners get to grips with the Chinese writing system.
The app presents one hundred of the most commonly used characters for beginners and allows users to practise reading, writing and listening on their iPhone or Android device.
For each character the app features:
- large easy to read character graphic
- pinyin spelling with tone marks
- English translation
- animated stroke by stroke demonstration of how to write the character
- audio pronunciation of the character by a native Chinese speaker
The app also features exercises to practise reading, listening and writing the characters.
