Why this is good practice
Mandarin position words such as 上面, 下面, 里面, 外面, 前面, 后面, 旁边, 中间, and 附近 become easier to remember when you see where things are.
Every answer is one tiny step, and the translation appears immediately — right answer or wrong. Meet the words first, then run the recall sprint to produce them from English.
