Type and Learn Chinese
To learn a new language, it is great to learn to write or type the new words when you learn them.
You may see some programs name “Type and Learn Chinese ( or the language you learn”. I highly recommend them. Because this was how I learn English too. It was hard for me to learn the single English words one by one, I learned them in the article or conversation. I also used a pen and paper to write the whole sentences or paragraphs where the new words are used.
