A great way to study Chinese, flash cards remain an accessible, efficient tool for rapid memorization, and Tuttle's flash cards are the best available today.

An audio CD gives native–speaker pronunciations. An excellent tool for HSK Chinese language study, this second volume will help you master the 273 intermediate-level characters, along with their associated 1,360+ words and sentences.
Whether at home or on the go, you can use these cards to learn several new characters every day and watch your knowledge develop rapidly over time. This kit features

- Native-speaker audio recordings of 1,360+ example words and sentences.
- A 32-page study booklet with sorting indexes and practice tips.

"The reason I did not give 5 stars is because of the material used for the cards. It is about as sturdy as an index card. I have previously been writing my own flash cards on Staples brand index cards that I would cut in half. Because the cards I made are smaller they were a bit more sturdy. Unfortunately these Tuttle cards are not as durable feeling and I would be wary to carry them around on the provided ring. I was expecting them to be printed on plastic or similar so they didn't crease or tear.
After saying that I'm glad there is no pinyin or english on the front of the card, and I'm very glad that there are radical and component characters on the back because I try to study those anyway."

Chinese Flash Cards Kit Volume 2 HSK Levels 3 4 Intermediate Level Characters 350622 Audio CD Included Philip Yungkin Lee Jun Yang PhD Books Reviews
- These cards most likely will be your second purchase in your study of written Chinese if you have previously purchased the 1st iteration of Tuttle cards. The character progression is thoughtful and gradual as the first set as you begin common words and progress to more difficult ones.
The cards are made of the same high-quality card-stock that the first set was made of that doesn't wear easily; I have carried the cards around in my pocket for months with a rubber-band around them without noticeable damage to the cards.
The cards do no come with a carrying case which would be beneficial to keep them organized. I found a small plastic case which fit the cards almost perfectly from another flashcard set that I had purchased; I cannot remember the name of the product as the plastic case is the only thing that has survived.
I recommend a thorough study of spoken Chinese before moving on to written as it will give you a better understanding of how the words that you are learning on the cards are used in context. The example sentences are great but are not all-inclusive of the situations in which certain words can be used.
A great product overall and I would highly recommend to any student of the Chinese language. The pinyin for pronunciation on these cards is for Mandarin Chinese but the meaning of many of the characters also reflects the Cantonese meaning as well (though the pinyin for that dialect is not included on this particular set of cards).
Happy Studying! - These flash cards are incredibly useful for anyone interested in learning Mandarin Chinese; however, I'd particularly recommend this product to individuals looking for supplementary material for a course that they are taking or additional language support. These cards are most effective for learning to recognize and identify characters and tones used in Chinese. If you're interested in learning how to write the characters, I'd recommend instead purchasing a book published by the same company that makes these flash cards (Tuttle) called "Learning Chinese Characters."
There are 5 predominate reasons that I particularly love this product
1. The cards are the size of playing cards. This makes them portable and easy to take with you wherever you go.
2. There is a hole punch in every card that allows you to slide a small ring (included) around the cards. Super easy to flip through all of the cards without loosing any between couch cushions.
3. Each card is laminated. You don't have to worry about bends or tears as you would with homemade paper notecards.
4. The cards teach individual characters, but also include other words the same character in a different meaning. This will help you understand how Chinese is essentially a set of building blocks to develop new words.
5. Cards are numbered and ordered methodically so that you will learn how to develop new words and sentences as you gradually progress without needing to backtrack.
My only complaint about this product is that the English and the Pinyin translations are right next to each other on the back. When first learning Chinese, most beginners will go through the process of learning how to understand and observe English to Pinyin (plus tones), Pinyin to characters, Characters to English. In a perfect world I would have preferred that the Pinyin and English were separated on the back of the card in different corners or something so that I could quiz myself on that information.
Overall I am incredibly pleased with my purchase and consider it a bargain that I could benefit so much from a language product that didn't cost me $300+. - The reason I did not give 5 stars is because of the material used for the cards. It is about as sturdy as an index card. I have previously been writing my own flash cards on Staples brand index cards that I would cut in half. Because the cards I made are smaller they were a bit more sturdy. Unfortunately these Tuttle cards are not as durable feeling and I would be wary to carry them around on the provided ring. I was expecting them to be printed on plastic or similar so they didn't crease or tear.
After saying that I'm glad there is no pinyin or english on the front of the card, and I'm very glad that there are radical and component characters on the back because I try to study those anyway. - These sets are perfect for building and confirming vocabulary at various levels of desired proficiency. We used these for my daughter who had vocabulary gaps that kept her from progressing to higher reading levels and was otherwise impossible to root out which key words were missing. Glad to finally find something with simplified characters. The only caveat was that the audio CDs do not work on any of our CD players. But the cards alone are valuable enough to make the purchase worth it.
- I have only just received this kit. It is in addition to kit number one, and continues with more flash card of the next 1,500 characters for sequential learning. This second kit has everything the first kit has but it extends the lessons by an additional 1,500 words. I highly recommend this kit in conjunction with other learning aids.
- I am learning Chinese & these flashcards are great! They are a very nice size to carry around, plus they have several different words listed at the bottom of the card that also use the character. They show the simplified & original character. The biggest plus for me is they show you the order in which to write the character (they only show order on the simplified character)! I would highly recommend these cards if you are learning Mandarin Chinese.
Volume 2 does not repeat words from Vol. 1, but just builds a bigger vocabulary. This is very helpful as you advance in learning Mandarin Chinese. - Great quality, fast shipping, love it!
- I haven't opened them yet. I am still using Flash Cards 1. I like how they show each step when writing the letter.
