In this course you will learn and master Chinese character writing by understanding the evolution and basic structure of its system, and putting character construction into practice. You’ll study the elementary radicals from which characters are created, and become familiar with correct stroke order. And, by the end of the course, you’ll master approximately 150 basic Chinese characters. The understanding of the origin, history, and organization of these characters will greatly facilitate the continued development of your reading and writing proficiencies, whether you’re a beginner or a continuing student wishing to review. If your past experience focused on the Traditional Chinese Character System, this course will help in your transition to the newer, Simplified Chinese Character System.
