Chengyu as an extension of learning hanzi

Have you ever considered adding chengyu as additional vocabularies? Or possibly even in it’s own dedicated section after vocabulary? I don’t know if your current vocabulary list already includes it or not because I don’t know many chengyu to begin with, but I was just thinking the other day that this app would be a very useful resource for learning chengyu, and I think it would be a great fit because first of all there’s pretty much zero existing resources for learning chengyu and since this is an app based on learning chinese characters it would teach us a deeper meaning of each character so we can learn the historical etymological roots and/or poetic meanings of these characters, I’m sure you guys of any other app would be the ones capable of integrating it into the curriculum and making it fit

You can find many chengyu through the Dictionary feature on here!

Go to your settings and “enroll in dictionary beta”.

Go to dictionary search, and find the chengyu that you want to study. Click “prioritize” to add it to your queue. Be sure the read the documentation that HanziHero has regarding their dictionary feature to optimize how you want to use it.

great tip. i discovered that besides being able to search the dictionary for a specific chengyu, they seem to be labelled as “idioms” so if you search for “(idiom)” it will pull a good sized list of them.

Here are 8:

理所当然

想方设法

迫不及待

一言为定

人山人海

独一无二

持之以恒

一目了然
