trainchinese Dictionary

We have created our own dictionary, developed by bilingual experts in Beijing, that contains 130,000 words. Our dictionary has advanced search algorithms that prioritize words that are most useful for you to learn. For example, if you search for "tree" in a traditional Chinese dictionary, you will most likely see the character 木, which is not a vocabulary word. However, with our dictionary, you will see 树 ("tree") as the first result and 一棵树 ("a tree") as the second result, making it more practical for your learning needs.

Our dictionary results not only include definitions, but also measure words, examples, character animations, and full decompositions. This allows you to see the components of each character and understand its meaning better.

With our dictionary, you can start seeing results for partial searches as soon as you begin typing. If you make a spelling mistake, we will provide suggestions for words that you may have meant.

We have measure words for thousands of nouns, and by tapping on them, you can access full details and related searches. Our dictionary is also organized into more than 1,500 word lists covering various topics, making it a great tool for studying. Whether you are preparing for exams such as HSK, TOCFL, or YCT, or simply want to expand your vocabulary, our dictionary has something for everyone. We also take requests for new vocabulary lists, ensuring that our content is constantly growing and evolving.

Our dictionary caters to both Simplified (mainland China and Singapore) and Traditional (Hong Kong and Taiwan) Chinese variants. You can easily switch between them or choose to display both in dictionary results and flashcards.

In addition to definitions, our dictionary also allows you to create flashcards with audio and animation. You can organize these flashcards into lists and share them with friends or students. Our Spaced Repetition system ensures that you will memorize the words for good.

You can customize your flashcards to your preferred learning style, with four different modes available. You can see the Chinese characters, Pinyin, or English, and get tested on translation. You can even compare your handwriting to a stroke-order animation side-by-side, synchronized for a more comprehensive learning experience.

All your flashcards are saved on your device and synchronized with our website, trainchinese.com, where you can also train with them and access more great content. You can also add study notes to your flashcards, which are saved and backed up on our website. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and user-friendly dictionary that caters to all your Chinese learning needs.
