Hi,
I've been using the Tuttle book 'learn 800 characters HSK 1-3' in conjunction with Pleco, and they make a great pairing.
I'm getting to the point where I need plan what happens when I go beyond 800 characters (HSK3+), and it dawned on me that I could combine the 'Tuttle-style' mnemonic recall with Pleco, by filling in the Usr field in the custom flash card.
I haven't found a Tuttle-style book for HSK3+ (I've emailed Tuttle publishing to ask), and I thought, 'what-the-hey, Chinese is so incredibly (rewardingly!) hard, why not start my own flash cards'?
Here's an example.
A thought occurred to me to approach creating flash cards in a more 'collaborative' way - sort of 'open source' it, so no one person is doing all the work.
I work in IT, and set up collaboration spaces; the concept here would be a common place to put the flash card export, interested users (me being the first) check-out the file, update, then check it back in.
I'm not sure if this is technical the best way to manage the flash card file.
Interested to hear the thoughts of those much further along their Chinese journey and well better versed in using Pleco and flashcards!
