There is a set number of words to learn in each of these sections. This fluctuates pretty significantly from lesson to lesson. The very first lesson of the first world of Ninchanese only has five new words. Other lessons may have over 60 words for you to learn. Of course, learning 60 words can take some time and you can’t move ahead to the other lesson components before completing this.

Now, you’ll practice making sentences by dragging and dropping characters in the correct place. You’re given the sentence in English and you have to make the correct sentence in Chinese. Sounds easy right? I struggled with it. So, if you just learned the difference between ?, now is the time to see how well you really understood what you read.

This app is the perfect “addon” for my Pleco Chinese dictionary. Pleco for the serious learning and homework word lookups, and Ninchanese for gamified learning on the go.

If you think 上手 means ‘to master’, then it is a Japanese word. In Chinese, nowadays 上手 means ‘start to do [something]’. In the past, it means ‘a seat for very important gust(on the left side of the host)’.

So, what do you choose, using a badly drawn and inaccurate map, or entering a strange and perhaps dangerous labyrinth, trying to understand how it works? I think that the answer depends much on how much you have studied (i.e. how strange the labyrinth is) and what your goal is. If you re short of time, running around in labyrinths all day isn t a good idea, although you might have to do that sooner or later anyway. If you re happy as long as you learn Chinese, strolling in the labyrinth is excellent.

In reply to The Nincha Team.

I intend to build two fonts, one handwriting and another sans-serif art deco. I want to build unified pan-CJK (Chinese (including Simplified and Traditional), Japanese and Korean) characters. Completing an omniglot font is my ambition. I know it is not possible to unify them because the four different variants of each characters follow the same unicode, therefore, I have to use stylistic sets to make easier. A web font OTF and OTF features sets are already supported in the most of browsers due to the popularity of HTML5.

I know Chinese has over 8 thousands glyphs, Japanese over 4,5 thousands and Koreans has few characters.

— Iosekva, an open source monospaced font, has 35 thousands glyphs.
— M+ Fonts, an open source Japanese font, has 4,5 thousands glyphs.
— Noto CJK, an open source Google fonts family, has 65 thousands glyphs.
— Source Han Sans, an open source CJK Adobe fonts family, has 65 thousands glyphs.

But make me know that it is unnecessary to build all the simplified and traditional Chinese glyphs because not all people from China and Taiwan use the computer for typography or not all speak all the glyphs. Suggest me how glyphs I should build or I should build the same that Iosekva or Adobe’s and Google’s.
