I'm adding Rocket Chinese lists

mreid   June 14th, 2012 10:12p.m.

Hi, everyone.

I'm using Rocket Chinese to help me learn Chinese. I've created word lists for Rocket Chinese lessons 1.0-1.4. They should be available to you in the Skritter databank of user-created lists, should you find them helpful. I've tried to include all of the characters in each dialogue (on their first occurrence only) plus phrases in which they occur within the dialog (e.g. for 什么, I'm including 什么,什, and 么). I'm also including the words from the optional 'practice' section for each lesson.

Hope someone finds these useful!

Great work, mreid. Thanks for sharring your Skritter list!

Just to save you some time, you don't need to include all the individual characters into Skritter. Instead you can go under Study Settings (on iOS or website) and simply click the "Also add characters when adding words" button and it will include all the new characters into your list. That way other users can select if they want the option or not as well.

Again, thanks for sharing your list with other users.

Thanks for clarifying that, Jake. I will try that feature.

Does Skritter check for redundancy in lists? For example, if I have a 'big list' and all of its sections contain the character '我', will Skritter force me to keep re-training that character because it's in all of the sections?

Also, is there a way to give Skritter a block of text and have it pull out all of the words? These two features (parsing arbitrary text and removing redundancies) would make it really easy to create lists.

Thanks!

Redundnacy: no matter how many lists or sections '我' is added in, Skritter teaches it to you the same amount. The first time you come across it, it is added to 'my words', and from that point on you are learning it regardless of where else it may or may not appear.
Skritter also removes duplicates within the same section.

I'm unsure about the parsing though. People have discussed that before, and I think someone might have made a tool that can help you. Have a search around the forum :)

Thanks, Catherine.

mreid, if you have a mac, you can use this program www.byzanti.co.uk to get a summary of all the words you don't know in a text (based on what you know in Skritter). You could then paste the summary into a new list on Skritter.
