Free Anki Flashcards Mandarin Chinese

One of the best ways to practice your vocabulary is to use the Anki software.

Anki is a powerful Spaced Repetition System (SRS) that shows you flashcards at optimal intervals to maximise retention.

Anki is science-backed with an intelligent algorithm. When you consistently get a word correct, Anki increases the time before showing it again. If you struggle with certain characters, it shows them more frequently until you’ve mastered them.
