Full Description
The Chinese script, with its many complex strokes, can often prove to be a formidable challenge especially for the young learner of Chinese - and even adult learners of the language. In this new volume, over 100 essential Chinese characters that every beginning learner should know have been carefully selected and compiled. Humorous illustrations, clear explanations and plenty of examples all help to demystify the Chinese language by deconstructing the Chinese characters and showing how they evolved from ancient pictographs and ideographs to their modern form. Each character is given a stroke-by-stroke breakdown of how it is to be written. Peng's Fun with Chinese Characters for Children is based on the highly popular Fun With Chinese Characters series.
