DIY Chinese flashcards with Google Translate


I know there are Chinese flashcards apps for iPhone out there, but nothing gives you the kick out of Do It Yourself with just your fingertip.

First download Google Translate.

Then use it to translate Chinese to Chinese, or whatever.

Now turn your iPhone side-way and snap the screen.

There you go, a Chinese word flashcard in your photo album. I understand teaching Chinese is tough in Singapore, especially after decades of brainwash from English cultured society.

Hope this is useful.

My fruit, Your branches, His root

是我掀起了追逐的浪潮
绿叶依附着树枝
苦涩的泥巴味
却为何无法
从根处传到枝头

是我卷起了人云亦云
遥远东方而来的云集
昏暗又污浊
已经面貌全非

是我为了摆脱剑锋
而每日来到这里
我是逃离战场的剑客
没刺出的那一剑

现在不知刺往何方
