How to increase your Chinese vocabulary?

[chrisgoodie]

I started learning Chinese 3 months ago. I am using the Integrated Chinese text book, which has been helpful in learning grammar, and get started on daily conversations. What apps or flashcards do you recommend to use to increase vocabulary of Chinese words?

I think that apps and flashcards are good for reviewing words that you have gotten from somewhere else, not for 'increasing your vocabulary' by themselves. I think that vocabulary especially at low levels is a function of what you want to say. Open google translate or a dictionary or a sentence site for Chinese like zaojv and type in what you want to say, record the definition and there you go.

On the off chance you're just asking for recommendations on reviewing and better learning vocab, Anki flashcards are as good as anything.

I recommend you download and learn the offical HSK word lists.

You can use anki or a spreadsheet for memorisation.
