About this deck

Practise 24 words with a matching picture on every card. Choose the job closest to yours, a role in your community and one you would like to learn more about. Say each word before checking the pinyin, then use New shuffle for another recall round. Save unfamiliar words for Review. When you are ready to put workplace vocabulary into longer expressions, continue with the existing Business Phrases deck.

Eighteen occupations and six workplace terms make this 24-card selection. The people share a simple neutral silhouette: tools, tasks and settings identify their roles, rather than gender, hairstyles or clothing stereotypes. The doctor carries a stethoscope; the nurse checks a bedside chart; the engineer works with a gear and a plan; the carpenter saws a plank of wood; the reporter faces a camera with a microphone. Colleagues share a worktable, while the office is a room and the company is a whole building. Wages are shown as an envelope and coins. Matching doorway scenes distinguish arriving for work from leaving. These pictures are memory cues, not definitions of who can do a job. Meetings and negotiation sentences stay in Business Phrases.

Think you know them? The Chinese Picture Quiz says a word and shows it in characters, and you tap its picture — these cards mixed with every other picture deck.
