#What is it??
#What is it?

<p>Learn Hanzi is a spaced-repetition flashcards app that is designed to teach you <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_characters">Chinese characters</a>. It's actually a prototype that I made to help me learn Chinese (and <a href="https://www.meteor.com/">Meteor</a>), but you're welcome to use it too. Currently the app will teach you the 101 most common <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_(Chinese_characters)">Chinese radicals</a> from the 2,000 most common Chinese characters. The source for the list of radicals used can be found on <a href="http://www.hackingchinese.com/kickstart-your-character-learning-with-the-100-most-common-radicals/">Hacking Chinese</a>. (You may notice that the original list contains 100 radicals while this app uses 101 - the extra character is 屮 ("sprout").)</p>
<p>Radicals are root characters that are combined to make compound characters, which can also be combined to make even more complex characters. Many of these radicals are not words on their own, but learning them first can make it much easier to learn more complicated characters later on because you will already know the building blocks. There are 214 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kangxi_radical">Kangxi radicals</a>, but some of them are only used a few times and are not as useful to learn on their own. This app focuses on teaching the most common radicals found in the most common characters for higher efficiency. Keep in mind though that they are not ordered according to frequency. They have instead been organized based on visual similarity so you can learn to tell similar images apart and learn new information based on characters you already know.</p>
