Chinese in a Flash Kit Volume 4 (Tuttle Specials)

These cards most likely will be your fourth purchase in your study of written Chinese if you have previously purchased the 1st, 2nd and 3rd iterations 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. These cards continue to same trend of providing example sentences and couplet words. You are probably already hooked by now on the Tuttle series so this is the natural progression.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!

I have enjoyed using these flash cards since I started learning Chinese. They help a lot and they are easy to carry with me when I'm traveling. I bought all 4 volumes and they are well worth the money.

Good set but it should specify for advanced learners

Its a great way to learn this so dificuld language that is the chinese and came in very good conditions and it took less time to arrived than I though it was.

Great aid to help you learn Chinese is speaking and written form.

Great way to study!

Honestly, this is a 5 star product. The quality and price make it worth it. The purpose of this review is to warn you not to follow the "frequently bought together" recommendation from Amazon here.There are two different sets of "Tuttle Chinese Flashcard" currently sold here. Volumes 1-3 are from one edition, and volume 4 is from a completely different edition. Unfortunately I was unable to find a complete set for either set.As of when I ordered and even still today when I went to check these products I still get a "Frequently bought together" notice, which if you follow will end up giving you a mix and match of volumes from two incomplete sets.To be clear, both sets are amazing. Volumes 1-3 from the one set is perfect. Volume 4 from this set is great. But if you mix and match as suggested by Amazon you will end up with many duplicates as "this sets" volume 4 has characters from the other sets volumes 1-3.

Perfect!

Excellent service, honest product description, total satisfaction received
