[April 9 2023] Chinese Character 叫(jiao) And Its Construction

Learn Chinese Characters #1/20

The best way to memorize a character is to understand its construction. In this short video series, we will be sharing insights on the Chinese character 叫 (jiào) and its construction, alongside the simple character "我" (wǒ), which is also known as a 独体字 (dútǐzì), meaning it cannot be divided into smaller elements. We will also discuss three commonly used characters with a left-right (左右, zuǒyòu) structure: "叫" (jiào), "姓" (xìng), and "好" (hǎo). Unlike the simple character "我", these three characters can be divided into smaller elements.

Whether you are a beginner or looking to expand your understanding of Chinese characters, this video is perfect for anyone interested in learning more about the Chinese language and the construction of the character 叫. So come join us to expand your knowledge of Chinese characters！
