Chinese Vocabulary Lists

Most students of foreign languages have some experience memorizing long vocabulary lists. Colors, professions, animals, sports… they’re all undeniably useful, but memorizing them is definitely a chore. Sinosplice cannot offer a revolutionary way to master those boring lists, but it can at least offer vocabulary lists with refreshingly new and atypical topics. You won’t likely want to memorize these lists in full, but you’ll undoubtedly pick up some interesting vocabulary that will actually be fun to throw into your Chinese conversations. More than anything, that may make the difference in your ability to remember the new vocabulary.
