How to play
- A tray shows nine Chinese words drawn from three topic packs, with three labelled buckets below.
- Tap a word to pick it up — you'll hear it spoken — then tap the bucket (topic) it belongs to.
- A correct word locks into the bucket in green; a wrong one shakes and stays in the tray to try again.
- Sort all nine words to finish the round.
Questions
Which topics are used?
Each round mixes three of Pinglingo's topic packs — colours, food, the body, animals, weather, clothing, jobs, the house and transport — so you learn which words belong together.
How does sorting help?
Grouping words by topic builds a mental map of Chinese vocabulary and reinforces what each word means, which sticks better than seeing words in isolation.
