Learning Mandarin is tough

Mandarin is consistently rated one of the most difficult languages for English speakers to learn. One of the key elements of this difficulty is the writing system, which requires the learner to pick up thousands of characters. This is where Silkworm Flashcards can help.

For the student of Mandarin, flashcards can provide a crucial method of acquiring the large amount of characters needed to stay afloat in a Chinese-language program. They are also great for self-study, and portable enough to take with you wherever you go - so you can grab a few minutes of revision time in between whatever else you're doing.
