Ultimate Chinese Anki decks list for sentence mining.
If you’re learning Chinese, you might feel overwhelmed by the vast number of characters and grammar rules. Using Anki decks for sentence mining allows you to create personalised flashcards that help reinforce your understanding of the language in a practical way. This method focuses on pulling sentences from the context, so you connect vocabulary and grammar with real-life usage.
Despite there being plenty of Chinese Anki Decks available online, there are in fact only a handful which are good for sentence mining. Many only contain words and word definitions, instead of good quality complete sentence examples, making them not great for sentence mining.
While Anki has been a staple for many language learners, Mandarin Mosaic offers a more intuitive and context-driven approach to sentence mining that can significantly enhance your learning experience.
Check out our recommended list of Mandarin Anki decks below, which all have English and Chinese sentence examples, meaning they're excellent for sentence mining.
Furthermore, all of the following Anki decks have been verified for import into Mandarin Mosaic, so that you can get started straight away immersing yourself in sentences drawn from real-world sources.
