*2016-04-16*

I'm a huge proponent of anything that can make learning fun and take a bit of the dread out of it. I actually had a good bit of fun with this, and would gladly love something like this in other languages!

### 3/5 — App for Learners

*2016-04-16*

This game of pronouncing Chinese characters is only for those who is currently studying Chinese or for Chinese people, not for others I think. Because I have tried to play this game, and there is no patterns of how to remember the Chinese letters. There are lots of characters that look similar and confusing, making this game really boring for me. Also, its graphics looks quite fuzzy and unattractive. It should be improved. Like I have said earlier, for me it’s boring because I don’t know any Chinese, but for others who know Chinese or are learning Chinese, it may be a fun game to practice Chinese character pronunciations.

### 5/5 — Хорошая игра
