| 《 Worksheet related 》 |
|
| 1. |
Are both Simplified and Traditional characters supported? |
| |
Yes. |
|
| 2. |
Can both Simplified and Traditional characters be used within the same E-Hanzi worksheet? |
| |
Yes, this is a new function. Both forms can be shown on the same page. |
|
| 3. |
Why are the characters I enter not appearing on the screen? |
| |
If you have set the character output type to Simplified, but are entering Traditional characters, then the system will not be able to display them. Having the output character type set to Traditional and entering Simplified does not work either. After entering the desired characters, be sure to click on "next." This will allow the system to display the pronunciation of each character that was input. |
|
| 4. |
Is it necessary to enter a title? |
| |
No. You can decide whether you want one or not. However, titles help the learner to better understand the content of the exercise. |

How do I select characters that have more than one pronunciation? |
| |
After entering a character with more than one pronunciation, you can choose the desired pronunciation from the pull down menu. |
|
| 6. |
Can I edit the English definition for a character? |
| |
Yes, all English definitions can be edited. After editing, they are saved by the system automatically. You can also give character definitions in other languages, such as Spanish, French, German, or even Thai. Click on the orange arrow to restore to the original definition. |
|
| 7. |
Why can’t I add English translations or stroke diagrams when the text format is set to vertical? |
| |

Word Practice Sheets (生词单) |
|
| 1. |
What are word practice sheets? Are they different from Chinese character practice sheets? |
| |
As the name implies, Chinese character practice sheets (生字单) are for practicing Chinese characters, focusing more on the characters themselves. They go over things like stroke order, radicals, etc., whereas word practice sheets (生词单) are for practicing Chinese words. These focus more on word meaning (词). First determine your teaching goals, then choose the type of worksheet that is most suited to helping your students reach these goals. |
|
| 2. |
Why do blanks sometimes appear in the database? |
| |
There are approximately 22,000 entries in our word practice sheet database, including all the words that are used in well-known Chinese language tests, such as the HSK (China) exam and the TOCFL (Taiwan) exam. Though our database covers a significant amount of words, sometimes you may want to learn words that are not in the database. When this happens, click on the question mark that appears next to the blank entry, and then fill in the pinyin and definition fields to create an entry for the word you want to use. |
|
| 3. |
Can I make flashcards for words too? |
| |
Of course. Simply choose "Both" to make worksheets and flashcards at the same time, or choose "Flashcards" to make flashcards only. |
