There are 3 duplicate sentences but I can't remove them as it would mess up my audio file numbering so just be wary of that. The full list is 1507 sentences covering the 983 unique words on the Duolingo course, there are definitely more sentences in the tree but they are mostly different variations of the words and require repeat levelling so I don't have all those variations saved. The audio can be manually downloaded by using this site Mandarin/ for anyone wanting to make their own audio to add to flash cards but there are other available text to speech sites with better audio but require subscriptions. ![]() The English and Hanzi sentences are copy/pasted verbatim but the "Pin yin" was copied from google translate after inputting the Hanzi so could contain mistakes, the "Word for Word" column is my own interpretation of each word as it is shown in the Hanzi so will contain mistakes also. I also have a screenshot of majority of the available English sentences here. Instead I started manually copying them into a google document and now I have majority of the sentences (and all?) the words for the Chinese tree here: Just had to get it off my chest.So a while back I was looking for the word list or the sentence list for the Chinese Duolingo tree and had no luck since I wanted to make some flash cards off the sentences in the tree. so pointless.įor the record, I do believe HelloChinese is way-WAY better and I occasionally switched between that an Duolingo, but I decided I'm gonna move to HelloChinese now and ignore the green birb. doesn't require any thinking really, it's like they want me to practice warming up my fingers for 2 minutes before I get to the real exercises. It's just a shame I have to go through that "What sound does this make" crap before I get to it. With that said I do believe their other 50% of exercises aren't bad they're often sentences-based, challenging and engaging. When I see them in sentences though and I have the translation, that's when memorization is more useful. Also, offering no translation means no association with something my brain can properly store in the memory section, it's just a bunch of lines. Nope, they're doing it wrong, they make ignoring the Chinese character too easy, it's almost irresistible. Some would say "Ah then you're doing it wrong, you should pay attention to the Chinese character and try to memorize and associate". If the idea is to make us associate the character to the sound, it's a terrible method I use my English knowledge to solve it and don't pay attention to the Chinese character. Here's how it works: they present us with a sound and typically 3 different pinyin options. It will of course help, repetition always helps after all, BUT the fact that about 50% of each lesson is dedicated to "What sound does this make?" I believe is utterly useless and therefore time-wasting. Duolingo, however, I believe is the most time-wasting approach for learning simplified Chinese. So, language-learning gamified apps are a decent way to start and get a leg up IMO. I always a myriad of approaches and each one of them helps and adds another building block for my proficiency. Related CommunitiesĪs a successful language learner it's been my experience that it's never just one app, one course, one approach that will make me become proficient in the language, it's always a mix of things.
