I have written before telling of a Chinese (Mandarin) Flashcard script I am writing.
The script does the following using Perl\TK
Displays a Character
All the options are available at the click of a button
*Gives the option for the user to see the English definition
*Gives the option for the user to see the Pin Yin Definition. PinYin is arabic letters with according tones that give the sounding of the character. ( not a very full definition of pinyin, but I just want you to get the gist of it. )
*Shows the character being drawn with an animated .gif. Sometimes seeing it drawn helps the reader to understand the meaning.
*Plays an audio file that speaks the character.
*Allows users to add their own characters with english, and pinyin definitons.

Are there any other options any of you could perhaps suggest. Especially from speakers of Chinese ( native or non-native ).

Just a note: for the pin yin ( as well as english ) I had to make it a graphical output because the tones are not supported by regular Unicode. The script interprets a text file and produces the graphical output from an alphabetical .gif section.
