Synopsis

Keys to Chinese Character Writing is a self-paced learning pack, particularly designed to address the common problems faced by beginners when learning the orthography of Chinese characters. The book is divided into four parts: Lessons and Worksheets on Strokes and Stroke Orders - introducing the principles that govern the construction of Chinese characters, the basic strokes and the proper stroke order; Lessons on the 18 Most Frequently-used Radicals - showing how learning radicals makes the task of learning Chinese characters much easier; Quizzes on Strokes and Stroke Orders/Radicals - including nine quizzes designed for learners to evaluate their learning progress; and Answer Keys for Radical Lessons / Quizzes - for easy reference. ""Keys to Chinese Character Writing"" is accompanied by a DVD which clearly demonstrates how to write those Chinese characters introduced in the book properly. It makes an excellent companion to ""Key to Chinese Language"" (also published by The Chinese University Press) for beginners of Chinese.
