Can Chinese Characters Help You Learn Chinese?
Can Chinese Characters Help You Learn Chinese?Can Chinese characters help you learn Chinese? That's a good question, as I've found that many people are asking this question. The fact is that there is a wealth of information available for free if you know where to look.Books like 'Learn Chinese With Me' by Barry J. Lynn is very well written and very easy to follow. There are a few different sections in the book with different topics, which is good because you will have plenty of time to work on each section to master the language.A wonderful resource for learning Chinese is the television show 'Cantonese Dragons' which airs on a Chinese network in China. You can tune into the Chinese network in your area and see the Chinese cast discussing their characters, and the show is very educational. It also uses actual dialect for most of the scenes in the show, so you get the best of both worlds.There are also lots of sites online that use English pictures, but when you link your computer to the Chinese site and watch the same pictures they translate the characters for you, then you can just turn your computer off while you do it. But what happens when you're out of the house and can't get to your computer to check your emails or download your favorite picture, such as a star ship to match up with your reading of the Chinese characters?There are websites that can help you learn Chinese by helping you find photos of the characters you need to learn. Many sites now also provide a good way to download the text file, with links to the Chinese characters. The images are often very large and you will not be able to download them all at once.Another option is to use an English dictionary to find the character you are looking for. It is important that you don't get frustrated when this happens, as you may just be doing it wrong.In conclusion, if you're thinking about learning Chinese, whether you want to do it the hard way or a natural way, I would recommend that you read 'Lear n Chinese With Me' and go to the many sites online that offer resources. You will get a good understanding of what the language is all about, as well as how to use it if you go to the Chinese sites and try it out.
