This is an experiment in using graph theory as a learning tool for Chinese. Rather than treating vocabulary as a flat list, phrases are treated as vertices of a graph. Phrases are connected if they have a common character, meaning, or some other association that helps me remember them.

Here is a random selection of 5 Chinese phrases:

电话号码
diàn huà hào mǎ
telephone number
电脑
diàn nǎo
computer
wán
to play
最爱
zùi ài
favourite
朋友
péng yǒu
friend

And here is a graph which shows the connections between them, and other closely-related characters:

or you can see a list of every phrase.
