A new approach to writing & learning hundreds of Chinese characters within hours
Generations of students have experienced many months of frustrating learning efforts caused by poor language learning methodology. A new mind blowing learning technology introduced in this course book will revolutionize the access to the Chinese and Japanese languages. Writing and memorizing of Chinese characters can now easily be done. Chinese characters (Hanzi) - also used in the Japanese language (Kanji) - are arranged by their 'looks' (shape) instead of their meanings. Small groups of five similar characters each will help you to save precious time exercising writing and reading. Learning speed will be improved by creating a solid base of at least 333 Hanzi just within hours. And this will boost your motivation to learn the Chinese language. Get ready for the Asian Century. Please refer to www.Hanzi-Sudoku.com for free Chinese & Japanese related language learning materials like crossword puzzles or Sudoku with Chinese characters.

333 Hanzi-in-a-Day
Many years of educational research unveiled a stunning fact: Chinese characters are traditionally introduced by their contextual meanings instead of their shape. And this considerably slowed down the language acquisition process. This course book offers a new approach to writing and learning Chinese characters (Hanzi in the Chinese language, Kanji in the Japanese language). By arranging the Hanzi in small groups of similar shape on tracing sheets your learning performance will be increased. Our brain really loves motoric reinforcement while learning through writing practice. Little numbers attached to some strokes are explaining the correct stroke order and writing direction. In contrast to all other educational resources the numbers will only be displayed where necessary as your feeling of the correct writing and stroke order will grow from page to page. Readings (or pronunciation) are given in Mandarin romanization (Pinyin). Meanings of each Chinese character should be regarded as a description of a picture, as Hanzi are pictograms. This will help you to get a feeling of each character. Don't learn the Hanzi by heart, feel & understand them as you would do with other pictures and photos, too. If you are totally new to the Chinese language, please make use of additional resources and concentrate on writing and meanings while using this course book. Use only one line of the tracing sheet per Hanzi and training cycle - repeating of the readings and meanings of the Hanzi will help you to kill practice time :-) If in doubt how to write a Hanzi please use your experience: When there is no number displayed, the stroke order and writing is as you have previously learned (assuming that you started this course book from the very beginning). This course book introduces simplified Chinese characters as used in China and Singapore. 2 printed fonts of each Hanzi are displayed to help understand the small differences in their appearance especially when handwriting is concerned. In some cases traditional characters or derivations are added for your reference. All simplified Hanzi of this course book are part of the international Chinese language proficiency test HSK. For more detailed information about each Hanzi please refer to ... www.xuezhongwen.net or www.zhongwen.com or www.Chinese-Dictionary.org

No big deal, no long explanations - just print out this eBook and get your (soft) pencils ready. Please feel free to contact the author for feedback or to write a review [Kanji Sudoku Blog] - at least spread the word to help other students of the Chinese language to save practice time. Thank you for downloading this eBook.
