你 好. 我 較 David. What up, fellow learners? I’ve been studying Chinese for about nine months. When I signed up for this program, I decided to start at the very beginning to plug any holes in my basic knowledge (and there definitely are some). I like the clarity and structure of the explanations.

“我 is a simple character also called 独体字 in Chinese.” What does 独体字 mean and what is it’s significance? Thanks in advance for responding!

Thanks a lot. It’s very helpful indeed. (^^)

I can write 我,but I don’t know how write special letter pinyin (ǒ,ǎ,ǚ) from keyboard. 🙁

hailePremium Student April 1, 2020 at 10:14 am

你好。You can type the normal character o, a or u. It will show all Chinese words on your keyboard (click to the arrow on the right side to have full board) and you just need to choose the one that you want to use. I hope this help 🙂

ccesarPremium Student February 12, 2019 at 3:57 pm

This was my first “hands on” lesson! Thanks a lot for this wonderful course. The only point of attention was installing Baidu Input on blind flight, as the page is only in mandarin, as far as I could see.

Xie Xie LiLi. Thank you for creating this course to help us learn Mandarin. I appreciate how your lessons are organized and easy to follow.

谢谢你 Donald, we’re so glad you like our Chinese course, we wish you the best of luck learning Chinese!

How can I get practice sheet for my practice writing Chinese characters? Without practice writing it is very difficult and takes so much time and effort to make characters look like original…

eugendPremium Student February 12, 2018 at 3:54 am

Professionally done, and very clear. One question – are there any practice sheet available to practice writing the characters 我,叫,姓,你,好?

It’s really a great idea to include the Chinese character writing sheets and we’re already thinking about adding them. We’ll send notifications once they’re ready!

Just an update, we have included writing sheets for all character lessons now!

Tisha Et yuanStudent November 11, 2021 at 7:01 pm

Really! Well me too. Ever since I have watched Chinese Dramas, I have liked almost everything about China. The cute cultural dances, Language, and martial arts.

I also fell in love with Chinese culture through the dramas. I hope to one day visit there.

Princess NancyStudent April 18, 2022 at 4:15 pm

Ok, and my parents speaks Chinese and I learning.

connoryarishPremium Student December 6, 2017 at 10:09 am

…but what do xing and hao have to do with being female? Would it change if a male is speaking?

Thanks for the question! The characters do not change. Both 姓 and 好 had something to do with “女 female” when they were created thousands of years ago but now their most common meaning aren’t related to “female”.
Also the gender of the speaker does not change how the character is written.

Sonette T.Premium Student November 25, 2017 at 2:12 pm
