Great! Now that we've downloaded our first text, let's see how to interact with it using FullChinese.

Let's go back up to the Home Screen:

• Click on the "Texts" tab on the bottom left corner
• Open up the first text
• Tap anywhere to select unfamiliar words
• The orange bar at the top will show you the currently selected word displaying:
  • the Chinese phrase, its respective Pinyin, and the English definition
  • Press on it to further deconstruct the word 
• Flag words that you are unfamiliar with by selecting it and tapping the "Star" button at the top right
  • Tap it and scroll down to the sentences and extra words for more context
• You can also select a sentence fragment (i.e., sentence or phrase)

Congratulations! You learned everything necessary to read and understand Chinese texts. The final step for completely understanding a text is quizzing yourself:
