Play to learn what the top 50 frequently-occurring characters in the Chinese Language are.

Can you recognize these commonly used Simplified Chinese characters? Pair the Chinese character with the English meaning, or Hanyu Pinyin. Match and tap both together. (For an example of the character usage, just do a long hold on the character. Tap the pop-up box to close it.)

This app does not provide all meanings for each character, but gives an indication of the basic/common meanings. This is not an exhaustive dictionary, so do use this with a good dictionary to increase your vocabulary. Better comprehension comes from knowing not only one word or character, but understanding how one character combines with others.
