Hey Lili!
Your lessons are so useful.
Quick Question…
You now for wô ( I don’t have the right accent, sorry!) on the writing sheet download, right? What does the radical for wô mean?
你好
你们都是外国人???
I’m very curious about this as well. They seem the same format but have different computer encodings.
Ms. Lili, I have a question. Do you think it is acceptable to model my Chinese handwriting after non-brush styles? It’s like the “Sans Serif” version of Chinese characters. I was thinking of this because I prefer writing with my ball point pen, and I find that uneven stroke widths do not suit my pen very well. What are your thoughts? My example font would be Noto Sans CJK. 谢谢！
hi, this is a late reply and from someone who likes the brush style. I agree about the ball point pen. I use a v fine point Kuretake pen when I practice. Try it out. Good luck.

Oh God！ Your way of teaching is really impressive. I have subsbribed for 6 months package for that. Hope to be fluent in this time haha
Lili, you have devised an ingenious language learning curriculum for the teaching of introductory Chinese. My main concern was how does one learn Chinese characters. The interactive process is based on sound learning techniques and is quite versatile in its approach. Thank you.
Hi Patrick. Thanks for such a nice comment! I’m really glad that you like our methods and hope you enjoy your journey learning Chinese even more in the future!
Thank you so much for the great lessons!
