Reference Information to Ease Your Chinese Character Study

[letmesee]

Most westerners assert that Chinese characters are the most difficult part in learning Chinese language. Many a complaint comes from that Chinese characters look very different from alphabetic words in the Roman languages: each character represents not only the pronunciation, but a certain meaning; and also that they are even so unlike each other that you have to learn them one by one, so many to memory. Actually, there really are some connections between Chinese characters, all composed in a defined way. You are unable to discover that probably because the numbers of the characters you know are too limited, or you didn’t learn them in the Chinese perspective. In my opinion, to learn written Chinese efficiently, one must know about the origin of the character and its evolution. You might be interested to know more about my opinion here.
