Master Chinese with personalised lessons: How Focus Words in Mandarin Mosaic can transform your learning.

If you're tired of studying boring vocabulary lists and want to take a more personalised approach to your learning then focus words in Mandarin Mosaic could be the perfect feature for you.

What are focus words?

The focus words feature in Mandarin Mosaic allows you to pay special attention to certain words that you want want to learn or reinforce, ensuring targeted practice and review. You can add a word to your focus words list at any time, regardless of whether it's a known or unknown word, and you can remove it whenever you feel like you've reviewed it enough.

How do I study focus words?

Adding focus words in Mandarin Mosaic generates you a special "Focus words" pack in the reviews category, which contains sentences specifically featuring those words. The sentences in a focus words lesson can come from any pack but since the goal is to review your focus words, you'll mostly see sentences without new words.

How do I add focus words?

To add Focus words in Mandarin Mosaic, simply go to the focus words section in the main menu and click add. You can also add or remove a word from your focus words list at any time during a lesson from the pop-up dictionary.

How often should I review my focus words?

This will depend on your individual learning needs, but we recommend practicing a focus words review at least once per day to reinforce learning and retention.

Is there a limit to how many focus words I can add?

The free version of Mandarin Mosaic allows up to 10 focus words. A premium subscription allows you to add unlimited focus words.

Will focus words be highlighted or emphasized in lessons?

Focus words are highlighted in purple during a focus words lesson so that you can concentrate your attention on learning these words.
