Internal Demand in Russia our own figures, not a claim to visitors
Term measured: «задоенко». Yandex Wordstat, all regions, 30 days, measured 22.09.2026. The Google figure is modelled, not measured: Кондрашевский serves as the anchor with its Russian market share, the rest follow through their Trends ratio to it. All numbers in context on the demand page.

Lessons 1–16. The book teaches the first lessons in pinyin before the characters arrive, and its dictionary marks that: those words carry the lesson in brackets.
Proven, not promised
Your textbook shows a word once, and a week later most of it is gone. Being asked for it is what makes it stay. That is the entire job of the app.
Double the recall, one week on. Learners quizzed on foreign vocabulary still had 80 % of it. The ones who only re-read the same list: 36 %. Same words, same time spent.
Karpicke & Roediger, Science, 2008Spacing beats cramming. Every time. 14 000 participants, 254 experiments, one verdict. And the longer you need to keep the word, the bigger your lead.
Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2006Learn it once. Keep it for a decade. Vocabulary drilled at growing intervals was still there nine years later — with no revision at all in between.
Bahrick et al., Psychological Science, 1993trainchinese is built on exactly this: it asks you for the word instead of showing it, and it comes back the day before you would have forgotten it. Your lesson list is already inside — free to start.

What you are getting
Part I introduces many words in pinyin first and in characters later. Both lesson numbers are kept, and the list uses the lesson where you meet the word first.

Т. П. Задоенко, Хуан Шуин, «Начальный курс китайского языка, часть 1». Часть I · 5-е издание, 2010 · Восточная книга. Lessons 1–16. The book teaches the first lessons in pinyin before the characters arrive, and its dictionary marks that: those words carry the lesson in brackets.
Yes. The Russian meanings come from the lesson dictionary of the book itself. Where the app offered several meanings, we picked the one the lesson uses.
Parts II and III of the same course have their own pages. The earlier course by the same authors, «Основы китайского языка», is covered separately.
