How to learn characters??
Jul 10, 2011 22:23
guest27149 Hi all,

I can recognize about a thousand characters but when it comes to reproduce them, I can't remember how to write more than half of them. It depends on the complexity of the character but I make stupid mistakes even in simple characters like 叫 as I usually forget which component comes first (I think, in this case, it is because 叫 and 收 interfere).

Do you have (or is there) a method to remember the strokes?


Sorry if this was discussed before but I tried a few searches on the forum with no success. Please give the link if there is a thread for it.

There are too many characters to memorize and to reproduce if you're learning Chinese. The best thing is to read a lot and write a lot, just keep on writing essays, diaries. Not typing, but writing by hand, then you'll practice you're stroke order.

Try Aichinese.com, there you can practice your Chinese characters by flashcards, it really helps your listening skills and memorizing characters.

For writing I advise you to write a few characters everyday! And after a while you'll see many characters have the same phonetic element or radical.
