聘: should accept as well “to engage, employ, emplyement, to get married”
魔 should accept demon, evil spirit, magic
the dif. if 佩 seems wrong: it is not “belt”, but to wear (belt, etc), girdle/belt ornaments etc
酸 needs also “grieving, sick at heart”
many thanks, and happy new year
Hey @neoncube, with this sound alone, it sounds more like the 2nd tone to me. Remember that a 3rd tone changes to a 2nd when it’s followed by another 3rd tone. E.g. 你 (nǐ) and 好 (hǎo) both have the 3rd tone when used as a single word but when you speak the phrase 你好, 你 would be pronounced as ní.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Yi
hello sorry would it be possible to have the same word but “test on chinese prompt on pin yin” because both I care more about reading and I believe that the meaning of a character is impossible to get it in a single word. so would it be possible if you duplicate the course and make it as i already said test on pinyin prompt on chinese? thank you very much
Hi @pierpcosta93,
If I understand what your asking for, then I’m not sure that that would be a good idea, because I think there are too many Chinese characters that have the same pinyin.
For example, if prompted with “meng2,” then 儚, 冡, 夘, and 尣 might all be correct answers, since they all share the same pinyin.
Is that what you were asking for? If I misunderstood, please let me know

Hello everyone and thank you for this great course.
It came to my attention that the pinyin for 掷 is wrong, it should be zhi4. I can fix it myself if given the appropriate permissions, but if not possible could someone please correct it?
Thank you very much again,
Alej
@AlejPascual Thanks; I’ve fixed it 
Interestingly, the dictionary that I like to use shows that the character’s tone is zhi4 in Mainland China and zhi2 in Taiwan. Since this course is using simplified characters, I’ve stuck with zhi4, as you suggested
On second thought:
I only know of one word that uses this character: 投掷. In that word, 掷 is second tone. I’ve therefore made both zhi2 and zhi4 be correct answers
Hello Neoncube! Thanks a lot for your help on this 
I’m also only acquainted with 投掷, however, In every Mandarin Chinese dictionary that I’ve consulted, 掷 is fourth tone in that word. Maybe the dictionary you consulted is Taiwanese? In any case, I think it’s a good idea that it accepts zhi2 and zhi4 as correct answers.
By the way, is there any plan to produce a Characters 2001-2500 course? I noticed there is one out there but unfortunately, it is abandoned (I tried finding the forum thread and contacting the owner to no avail). If not, I would be glad to start it!
Thank you again and happy learning,
Alej
@AlejPascual Ah, interesting! Indeed, I think that the dictionary that I was using (www.zhongwhen.com) may be more geared towards Taiwanese pronunciations.
This course was made by @BenWhately, who I don’t think he makes course anymore.
If you’ve found a course that looks abandoned, then if you like, you can post on these forums and tag a moderator to ask that you be added as a contributor to the course. That way you don’t have to start a new course from scratch
