I never went through downloading and processing the flashcards for the older edition since I switched to Heisig's text. However, you can register for a free trial with Skritter if you don't have a membership already, and download the flashcards here after searching for the title of the text...
I have updated the dictionary so that it is compatible with Pleco 3.2.26/Android. Download: https://github.com/rouseabout/heisig/releases/download/release-20160320/heisig-release-20160320.zip
@joefish Use the Organise Cards "BATCH" facility to remap which dictionary your flashcards point to.
...characters that have multiple readings it would mean including a duplicate dictionary entry for each reading. I initially played around with this idea, but gave up.
* By excluding Pinyin, Pleco displays the Heisig entry in black at the bottom of the search results screen. I find this convenient.
Hi,
I'd like to know whether anyone has and is willing to share a custom dictionary containing not just the English keyword for a Chinese character one is looking up, but the mnemonic story and radicals/primitives that make up that character under the definition. If anyone has flashcards with...
...This brings me to my problem :
Some flashcards tags do not appear in the header of dictionary entries.
For exemple i have downloaded the Heisig flashcards made by Alexis of the Pleco forum or the Tocfl word list converted from Skritter, and tagged the flashards.
Most of the dictionary entries...
...as applying to all instances of a character so it would be merged with each of them (like UNI) instead of just one.
We wrote to the Heisig folks and they unfortunately seem to want to limit their data to their own apps, though we are working on some other interesting mnemonic / etymological...
I am also using Heisig's Remembering Simplified Hanzi and second this idea.
To help with my studying, I have created a user dictionary containing Heisig mnemonics, and flashcards to display RTH1 and RTH2 badges on the definition screen.
One limitation of this approach is that entries have to...
...would be possible to use the information from the components tab to make some sort of components test type.
I remember thinking while I used Heisig (I don't anymore, but I tried to 2 or 3 times), that the genius of his method was not only that he created a mnemonic system to memorize...
...and learning them really well, something I should have done at the beginning, and already I can see a huge difference.
I'd advise you to give Heisig's book a go. It might take a month or 2 months before you get used to it but even if you only learn 5 characters a day, after a month or two...
...as I'm confusing characters which are similar in appearance. Even with the SRS on Skritter and the mnemonics it's not effective for me.
The Heisig method is perfect. Starts right at the beginning with 1-10 and the building blocks/primitives are perfect. I'm using the following method :
1...
...only downside is it's a paid service, but you can trial it for a week for free. It's fantastic on the iPad with the touchscreen. They are working on an HTML android version,,but I don't use that platform. They have Heisig lists based on both Hanzi and Kanji. I find it invaluable for my...
Cheers for this. Have been using the Heisig method for the last few weeks and am doing 10-15 characters per day. Hope that by end of the summer I'll have got through the 1st book. I need structure to my learning and this is perfect.
I'm following Heisig's Remembering Simplified Hanzi and find it's making a huge difference. I'd like to be able to see the user entries I'm entering for character components. So for example, the character 斯 is made of 其 + 斤. What I'd like to be able to view after tapping "CHARS" is the user...
...1 shows the text which I've copied and pasted in from Skritter.
Pic 2 shows when I edit it (sometimes I change the story slightly at a later date).
I use the asterisks to highlight the word which is a building block of the character. Helps me memorise characters better (using Heisig).
Cheers.
...Chinese native speakers read more hanzi than they can write.
I think reading (both extensive and intensive) is basically the key (that's the way I learned English ;))
I'd also like to recommend James W. Heisig's "Remembering Simplified Hanzi" and Alan Hoenig's "Learn & Remember 2,178...
Hello
I have about 2000 flashcards that I have been using to review hanzi from Heisig's "Remembering the Simplified Hanzi". At the moment the cards have pinyin in the reading field and a RSH keyword in the definition field. Using the @ prefix I would like to store the keyword and pinyin in...
