SGShengci is a web-based vocabulary application developed to focus on building and retaining Chinese vocabulary for Singapore Primary School students. The application is meant to complement – not replace – tutors.

Primary school students that will benefit most from this application are those who lack frequent exposure to the Chinese language as a result of:

•  Being raised in an English-speaking household.
• Not having interest in learning the Chinese language.
• Not disciplined in studying habits.
• Not having a great memory.
  

Step 1

• Log on to the SGShengci.com website.
• Sign-up on the website.  This will create your PARENT account (including email address and password).

Step 2

• Log-in to your newly created account once the email has been verified.
• Under your name, click “Manage Profile”.
• Add each of your child to sign them up.
• Each child must have his/her own email address (can’t be the same as the parent’s email address).
• Create a password for each child (should not be the same as the parent’s password).

Step 3

• An email will be sent to the parent’s email address to acknowledge and provide child’s account details.
• An account activation email will be sent to child’s email address and provide child's account details.

• The application is designed to focus on helping a child retain long-term memory of Chinese vocabulary by using psychological tools.
• The application has an algorithm that differentiates each Chinese character’s level of complexity.
• Sentences are designed to increase the exposure to more complex Chinese characters without increasing the amount of time required from the student.
• Various methodologies are used to help the child move short-term recall of Chinese vocabulary to their long-term memory.

• It focuses ONLY on Chinese vocabulary.
• It approaches teaching Chinese to English-speaking students.
• It provides the latest, up-to-date vocabulary, referencing the official MOE syllabus.
• Contents are preloaded and distinguish between those characters that are read-only and read-and-write.
• It allows students to learn AND test character recognition & writing, pinyin & tone and definition – all in one convenient app.
• It’s cost effective and allows the students to benefit from the higher value-add of more expensive tutorial sessions.
• The app doesn’t require direct supervision by a parent and is designed to allow grandparents and others, who don’t know Chinese or English, to help the student.

• I’m not able to proceed with the character test page:
