Studying Mandarin with ereaders
I'm learning Mandarin and I was wondering if any one else had used their ereader to help.
I use Anki on my iPhone, but honestly my character recognition is pretty good so that I just stopped using the flashcard system. Its not really all that useful to me anymore. So now I'm looking at more intensive supplements (to my classes and textbooks). I like to read, so easy books in Mandarin/English would be awesome. Stuff to help with learning sentence patterns, vocab usage, and such like that. I just downloaded the Chinese/English Kindle dictionary I read Traditional, btw. Anyone got tips? |

I am using my iPad for all my learning and reading needs, but my character recognition is still pretty poor.
I tend to convert my documents/books into txt format and then load them into Pleco and read within that app as I then get instant look up with what is probably the best Chinese dictionary. I have also found Hanzi reader quite useful. However, my reading ability is very basic. |

You can try asking (or using the sources) on this thread.
Books for children can be a good learning source. The topics are not always interesting but you can get used to reading this way and learn some daily vocabulary that you wouldn't otherwise. Amazon.cn is selling e-books for children. I haven't tried it so I don't know if you can buy them from abroad. Also, on android and IOS there are many books for children available. |
