China Books

This learning tool provides an enjoyable and motivating way for the learner to practice writing Chinese characters. The practice pad comes in the form of a memo block containing basic instructions, plus 365 numbered sheets: one per day for a year of learning, or more than one per day for faster progress! In writing Chinese characters, it is essential to follow the correct stroke-order and create uniform, well-proportioned, squarish shapes, rather than rectangular or rounded ones. Constant practice in the early stages of learning is vital in order for these habits to become second nature as you learn more and more characters. Each sheet presents a single Chinese character in the form currently used in mainland China and Singapore (where it differs, the traditional form is also shown as a variant), together with its pronunciation and meaning. Several examples of compounds containing the character are also listed, along with pinyin and English translation. Essential help in learning to write the character is provided in diagrams showing its components and configuration, and above all, the stroke-order. Around the edge of each page, a set of 28 squares allow the user to first trace the character on top of the model, and then practice writing it independently.
