Chinese Language Teaching and Learning Materials
The
.pdf files below are prepared to enable students and teachers to
conveniently and inexpensively print out double-sided flashcard sheets
on cardstock.
The following files were made using Word XP and the Microsoft (free)
Input Method Editor (IME) for Simplified Chinese. The tone marks
were derived from the Insert>Symbol pull-down menu. The .pdf
files are made using Primopdf (a free program) while utilizing the
Zoom feature found on Microsoft Word just
above the print button in the print menu. The lower
right hand box on the print screen menu is titled "Zoom" and asks
"pages per sheet." The .pdf flashcard files below are based
upon 16 flashcards per 8.5 x 11 page.
In case you wish to
produce more cards or of different sizes, you may wish to use the
one Word file provided as a simple, get-you-started template. To
help in organizing these files which tend to grow rather large, you may
want to click on View>Zoom. There you should choose a
number around 10% in order that exactly 8 columns of pages appear on
your monitor. This lets you quickly know if you have created one
too many or one too few pages.
