Chinese Printable Flashcards FAQ
Are flashcards games to learn Chinese?
Yes, flashcards are a fun game that you can play on your own or with friends who also want to learn Mandarin Chinese. For example: print enough flashcards to have a nice deck and gather two teams. A player in your team holds a flashcard on her forehead with the Chinese characters side towards you. You then read the characters out loud so the player with the flashcard can guess what the English translation should be. Both answers must be correct to win points for the team.
