I've started making grammar flash cards based on the lessons of the Dangdai - A Course in Contemporary Chinese books commonly used in Taiwan. I've only covered book 1 of 6 so far for testing purposes and I'm looking for volunteers to help me test and adjust as needed.
TL;DR These cards are designed to work within the limitations of the existing flashcards system for use in self-graded, spaced repetition tests only, and for gauging your familiarity with the many grammatical structures covered by the books. Please download, try, share, and give feedback.
Flashcards currently cover all lessons in Books 1-3.

Notes on the cards:
- Traditional characters only.
- Designed for self-graded, spaced repetition tests (have not tested with other testing formats).
- Headwords may contain the relevant characters in the grammatical structure as written in the book, or the Chinese name for the grammatical structure if only the English description is provided in the book (BIG THANK YOU to 吳老師 at NTNU for the research help on these). These were used because using English words to describe the structure in the headword is not an option due to formatting limitations.
- Definitions contain the English descriptions of the grammar structure and a number of hand-picked examples from the book with some inconsequential edits thrown in for fun here and there. This is where mistakes most likely occurred, although I tried proofreading every individual entry. If you find any errors please let me know and I will update.
- I've followed the same category name format (e.g. //當代語法/Book 1/L03) as @bsh26 's cards here: http://www.plecoforums.com/threads/flashcards-for-a-course-in-contemporary-chinese.6100/
- I plan to fix issues and continue building this set as long as I keep studying, which will hopefully be through the whole series, but no guarantees. At the very least through book 3, the point at which most native Chinese speakers will think your spoken Chinese is excellent, provided you use the given structures.
- Profile: copy of Spaced Repetition
- Show: Chars + Pron (You'll probably want to enable the pronunciation for the headwords that contain characters describing the grammatical structure as are a bit obscure.)
- Definitions
- Definition source: File Only
- Store in user dict: ON
- Problem Handling
- Fill in missing fields: OFF
- Missing entries: Create Blank
- Ambiguous entries: Prompt
- Duplicate entries: Allow
@mikelove Notes for Pleco:
- Formatting for headwords with English letters/words. Currently any English words or letters use huge spacing, so it would be nice if there were a more readable way to format headwords with combined languages.
- Maybe I overlooked something while exporting to .TSV, but I can't seem to figure out how to input and export definitions with line breaks. Please let me know how as it would make definitions much more readable. [Fixed]
- I'm not sure at what stage you are with some kind of grammar add-on, but I hope this can be a stopgap until then.
