Type-to-Learn Methodology Type-to-Learn is exactly what it says it is, a way to become fluent with one thousand basic, high-frequency Chinese characters by actually typing on your computer.  Nothing special is needed, any basic keyboard is sufficient.  You can see exactly what characters and tones are giving you the most difficulty and then hone in to correct them. This lets students use multiple learning styles based on sensory preferences: Visual Preferences, Tactile Preferences, Auditory Preferences, and Kinesthetic Preferences.  Read the text, see the Chinese characters    Type the text and select the correct tone mark Hear the correct pronunciation and tone Speak and/or type what has been learned Type to Learn with the “Drill” Function This is the heart of learning Chinese by typing. In Drill you see the character and must enter the correct Pinyin and tone mark before the character is spoken aloud.  Drill motivates you to apply what you have learned.
