  Wow ! Excellent! I use it to revise my vocabulary.
  I would hate to be a pain but may I suggest something ?
  I noticed that I akready know the pīn yīn. My problem is to identify the characters.
  I would be more than grateful if you could create 3 -sides flashcards. 1 pīn yīn, 1 character and 1 translation.
