Why use Progressive Chinese?

Progressive Chinese is an app that helps to teach you Chinese vocabulary. On average for every Chinese character you learn you must learn an additional 12+ words to keep up with the new vocabulary which learning a new character introduces. If this is not managed the learner will quickly get overwhelmed with the amount of vocabulary that builds up with which they have not yet learned. Progressive Chinese tries to manage your vocab learning for you by making suggestions about which vocab you should be learning for the characters you know, while also helping you revise and retain your existing vocab with the use of scheduled flash cards.

When learning Chinese, or any language, it is recommended that the learner has multiple streams of learning at the same time especially when aiming at the goal of being fluent in that language. To learn Chinese the learner must blanket their mind with different words and characters, not letting their learning become too narrow and specific. Using the Progressive Chinese app is a easy way to introduce an additional stream of learning or to compliment the already existing streams that you are using.

How it works

Progressive Chinese works to manage the learning of characters and to slowly introduce new vocabulary to the user from the pool of characters that they already know. This helps the learner to decrease the gaps in their vocabulary (word knowledge) that months and years of learning characters would produce.

The application teaches Mandarin Chinese words and characters from the first 2000 most frequently used Mandarin Chinese characters which make up 95% of most characters used in a Chinese newspaper.
