Site News

Follow Reviewing the Hanzi on Google+!1 May 2012

If you like Reviewing the Hanzi please follow and +1 our Google+ page.

This site still has very little traffic and we need more Chinese learners to share mnemonics on our Study pages! :)

I will continue posting future updates to the Google+ stream, as well as reshare interesting posts I come accross about the Chinese language and the writing system especially.

Traditional Hanzi Volume 2 is in!13 April 2012

Remembering Traditional Hanzi Volume 2 has been added to the Study pages (and flashcards)! The new characters are in the range #1501 to #3035, following #1 to #1500 from RTH Volume 1.

I'm afraid the special character "biáng" was not added. It would have been fun to share mnemonics for the infamous 57 strokes character; however the changes to my script and website code to support that one single character is not really worth it.

This update was made possible thanks to the RevTK community efforts, see Remembering the Traditional & Simplified Hanzi Book 2 spreadsheet.

Working on prototypes for Simplified Hanzi support22 April 2011

I'm currently brainstorming and creating prototypes to address how the site will handle both Traditional and Simplified Hanzi. You can see prototypes here, any and all feedback is welcome.

As a side bonus, the changes will also allow to add arbitrary character sets. Perhaps a Chinese equivalent to JLPT levels? In that case the learners use the Heisig method, but would progress through the characters in a different sequence.

Welcome to Reviewing the Hanzi!26 March 2011

The website has just been launched with support for Remembering Traditional Hanzi, Volume 1.

Support for Simplified Hanzi is expected for April/May.

Reviewing the Hanzi is a website where you can share stories for Remembering Hanzi using Heisig's mnemonic system.

Get inspiration from other fellow hanzi learners all over the world. Copy stories you like and share yours with the community. Review hanzi with flashcards and an easy to use spaced repetition system.

Flashcards

The flashcards display the most common Pinyin readings below the hanzi. Where there are more than two readings documented by the UNIHAN database, only the first two are displayed (these should be the most common readings, which is how they are ordered).

Audio will be added later for the Pinyin readings.

Community Forum

The Remembering Hanzi forum is currently hosted on the RevtK Forum. When the RevTH userbase grows, the Remembering Hanzi forum will be split and all about Chinese :).

For the time being, you will need to register here to get a forum account.

Other misc. tidbits

This website is the Chinese version of Reviewing the Kanji. Both sites are designed for use with James Heisig's mnemonic system.
