Subject: Big update
I have just finished updating the Hanzi flashcards! I think it is ready for everybody to look at now.
First, it is no longer the right-most tab. But it is still called Hanzi QUiZ and has a yellow icon.
Next, you will find that there are 5 sub-tabs on the page. One for each of 4 different levels, and a 5th one that encompasses all the levels. Each sub-tab has 3 sets of flashcards! This makes a total of 15 flashcard sets.
On tabs HSK1 through HSK4, the first flashcard set is of single-characters. These are words which have only one Chinese character. The second set has 2-character words. The 3rd set has the rest of the words in the level.
You can go through all of the words for a level in 1 month. The word lists change everyday. Again, no cards on the 31st of the month.
For the HSK ALL tab, the sets are divided into how long it takes to complete the 8800+ words. The first set, on top, has a 180 day cycle. This means, if you study this set, you will cover all the words on the HSK in 180 days. The second set, in the middle, has a 4 month cycle. The 3rd set has a 3 month cycle.
The final major change is that the Chinese characters will be displayed graphically so that everybody can see the Chinese characters displayed in a nice, slick font.
A reminder: Registered members can save their settings. To do that, from the Hanzi QUiZ page, click on the Settings tab at the top. This will take you directly to the Hanzi QUiZ Settings where you can choose your default and save it.
Users of IE 6 or 5.5 will see a warning message. The message states that the page does not look as good as it would on a better browser. You should upgrade to 7.0 or use another browser like Firefox, Mozilla, Safari.
In fact, this whole forum looks much better on any browser that is not IE 6! It has to do with a problem displaying transparency in png images.
Questions, anyone?
