Discover PINGRID version 3, complete Chinese vocabulary game


Make your learning time 100% useful

Pingrid was born as a clever game designed for learning Chinese vocabulary.
Later, Pingrid version 2 introduced a powerful spaced repetition model, to detect the words you need to train and therefore make your learning time 100% useful.

From the start, what makes Pingrid unique is that it is completely geared toward learning Chinese vocabulary.


Version 3 takes Pingrid to a new dimension, with handwriting traing! It combines two activities to memorize your Chinese vocabulary.

Picking words
Handwriting


Picking words in the grid is the original Pingrid training mode. It associates word, sound and meaning.
Its power: super fast training. Priceless when you are serious about learning and have sizeable vocabulary to absorb.
Handwriting is new in Pingrid version 3: you have to draw characters with the mouse!
Its power: active memorization. If you can write a word, then you are much more certain to recognize it.

And Pingrid's adaptive, spaced repetition model directs your effort to the words that do need repetition. No more cramming, your training time is 100% useful.

Great Product. I will be using this software to teach my 4 yrs old daughter. I tried the "speak" option and it did not work. Once I click speak a bubble appears on top of a word and nothing happens.Am I missing something? Please help.

Hello Taerg,

In Pingrid, words are spoken when they are presented, providing the "Speak words" option is checked in the Game menu.

Click in the lower part of the window if you want to hear again.

Before all, speech synthesis and a Chinese voice must be installed. More on this on this entry: http://ehaton.blogspot.com/2008/12/installing-chinese-voice-synthesis-in.html

I am trying to download Pingrid but can't find the place to do it.
Pages which say "download site at left" contain no such thing at the left.
Pages which appear on a search engine under "Download Pingrid" do not have any download.
I am using Chrome on Windows 10.
