How to Learn Chinese Characters | Introduction to Chinese Characters

In this lesson I'll give you tips and tricks to help you learn Chinese Characters.

Did you know that most Chinese Characters give you hints about their meaning and even their pronunciation? This lesson covers the different kinds of characters that are useful for chinese learners including pictographs, simple ideographs, compound ideographs, and semantic phonetic compounds. I'll also show you how more complex chinese characters are buit from simpler components, and give you other information that will help you to understand and more easily learn Chinese Characters.

Additionally, I'm happy to announce that I'm going to start a series of lessons that teach to read and write Chinese Characters. In each lesson I'll teach you new characters as well as give you tips to help memorize them, and show you to write them.

I hope you enjoy rthis lesson!

My name is Rocky and I'm taking a Chinese Mandarin course at a Chinese Cultural Center in Chamblee, GA. and am very lost in the very 1st lesson of Mandarin 101. Your videos are a breath of fresh air because you give such great explanations and illustrations. Thank you so much? Every Chinese character looked like scribble to me before. But you broke them down and gave them meaning and showed the relationships between the individual words that make up a character. Now, there is hope for me. I praise your gift as a teacher.!

[peterkephart]

I have just started studying Mandarin and have been much more intimidated by the thought of learning the characters than by the idea of speaking them through words. Your analysis and breakdown couldn't possibly simplify them more. Well done. Thank you.
