Description:Learn Chinese with Characters that Stick, an innovative interactive learning app that makes characters “sticky” (memorable, vivid) so reading them becomes as easy as reading English.
Note: This app is compatible with iOS6 and lower; it is not compatible with iOS7.
To promote stickiness, characters come alive through animation. You’ll see and hear heart 心 xīn beating, fly飞 fēi flying, and fire火 huǒ burst into flames.
You’ll learn 75 common characters and how to connect them like LegosTM to make many other characters. For example, 好 hǎo (good) is made by connecting 女 nǚ (woman) and 子 zǐ (child).
Recognizing characters within characters expands your vocabulary and strengthens retention, and Word Maps show you context. Meaning is often contextual and intuitive—a kitten is literally a “small cat,” an inferno is a “big fire,” and a seaplane is an “on-the-water flying machine."
