Hi! Please help if you can. I’m a very long time Pleco user but a relative flashcard newbie. I Love Love Love Pleco but have never been able to wrap my head around all the flashcards and settings. If anyone can give me pointers for this I would be super grateful. I’m so sorry if this seems obvious to some people but I’ve spent a long time trying to figure this out and I’m truly stuck. I am looking for (hopefully) a premade deck that is designed specifically to practice the writing of the characters from memory.
What I would really like is some suggestions for the easiest way to build a set like this based off of characters in the HSK exam levels:
prompt side:
- pinyin
- shortish English definition
- example chinese sentence missing the character it is testing for (could be missing one character in a word that is composed of two characters or more and just be testing for that one word)
- (hopefully) ability to write character on the screen and retain the written image when the card is flipped to compare.
answer side:
- Ideally, the outline of the character nice and big with a stroke order animation that starts up within the card without leaving the flashcard test (maybe from a dictionary file within pleco or something similar) and maybe the traditional variant small in the corner
- if above is not an option, just an image of the character nice and big and maybe the traditional variant smaller in the corner.
I think these settings would be ideal. But I would be open to something along these lines that’s different in various ways. I need to get started. I’ve spent to much time trying to figure out how to approach this and how to set it up in pleco.
I can literally read thousands of words but if I am given a piece of paper and a pen alone without any references, could only write about a hundred or so and there would be errors. So that’s the goal with these.
