This course mainly introduces the basic knowledge of Chinese characters and learns common Chinese characters. The course starts with the basic strokes and compound strokes of Chinese characters. Through the comparison of letters and strokes, students can understand what strokes are and what kinds of strokes are in Chinese characters. Then we will get to know the single component characters and the multi-component characters, and then enter into the study of the most important multi-component character types, namely, the ideographic characters and the meaning-pronunciation characters. The study of commonly used basic Chinese characters runs through every lesson. The course is simple and efficient, and is suitable for Beginning-leve students.
