This is te first release of my Chinese flashcard program for mobile phones, aimed at people learning Chinese. I have now released a second version of this program, which supports multiple word lists and adding your own word lists. You can download it from http://hostj2me.com/appdetails.html?id=2067 or see the project homepage at http://www.ironfrost.co.uk/flashcards .


This program first shows a word in one language - either English or Chinese - and users can then reveal the pinyin and the word in the other language. It is loaded with 111 beginner-level Chinese words.

Features include:

- Users can choose to go from English to Chinese, from Chinese to English, or to select randomly for each word.

- Words can be shown in their initial order or in a random order

- The program can automatically remove cards that have been correctly answered a set number of times, either in total or consecutively

Your phone needs to support Simplified Chinese characters, which most phones bought outside China do not - check your phone's language settings; if Chinese is not an option this program probably won't run properly. It also needs to be able to run Java programs, and must support MIDP 2.0 and CDLC 1.1 (if you bought it in the last couple of years, it almost certainly supports these).
