Write with a ballpoint, a fountain pen or a brush; the Calligraphy desk adds paper formats, tracing guides, a red seal and saves your work as an image. LEARN BY PLAYING Up to 14 review games built on the deck you're studying: true/false swipes, multiple choice, fill in the blank, listen and write, matching, flip cards, tones, dictation… Words you're about to forget come back at the right time, and a "Remember this?" card pops into your deck.
