I must agree with the previous two reviewers June 29, 2008
I purchased this set some time ago for Chinese vocabulary review and I have only recently dug into it.
Fortunately, I know Mandarin fairly well, so I am able to catch most of the typos in this set. There are pronunciation errors as well as mistakes in the definitions.
If you are an experienced Mandarin student, then you can correct the typos yourself and the set will still be useful. For beginners, though, these cards may be difficult to use. (Beginners might try the Tuttle Chinese flash cards instead.)
This is a shame, because these cards are well designed, handsomely produced, and reasonably priced. I am generally a fan of Penton Overseas; I have used their products for about 20 years now with few problems. Nevertheless, this is clearly a case of a product that was rushed to market without proper proofreading. Hopefully the company will correct the mistakes in the next printing.
Well produced but poorly proofread May 17, 2008

I've only reviewed about 100 of the 1000+ cards and found at least 6 errors ... not sure why they'd have released it for sale in this kind of shape. It's also limited to long form characters, which is a product description I may have missed during the purchase process ... or not.
Time permitting, I hope to check all the cards against some dictionary software I have, which could actually aid the learning process.

Well made flashcards, questionable accuracy April 12, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was looking for some good basic flashcards to help me with my Chinese vocabulary. I bought this set because the design of the flashcards was exactly what I was looking for. English on one side and Hanzi and Pinyin on the other side. However, while using the flashcards, I have found two typos so far. zhi1piao4 was defined as "the cheek" instead of "the check", also the flashcard for hair had the pinyin listed as mou2fa instead of tou2fa.
If not for the typos, I would have given these flashcards five-stars. However, now that I know that there are typos, I need to double check all of the flashcards for accuracy before I can really use them with confidence.
