Learn The Chinese Characters 人 大 天 夫 | CC01 | Learn to Read and Write Chinese Characters

Welcome to the first lesson in my Reading and Writing Chinese Characters lesson series. In this lesson I will teach you the Chinese Characters for person, big, sky, and husband: 人，大，天，and 夫.
I will cover some tips and tricks to help you remember these characters as well as show you how to write them. I will also teach you some words that make use of each character, which will introduce you to other related characters and help expand your vocabulary
You can download a practice sheet for the characters from this lesson here: drive.google.com/file/d/1t6lL...

I'm Chinese too, but I struggle to pick up characters because I grew up outside China. The biggest mistake I made was quitting Sunday school (where kids learn Chinese) because I felt embarrassed to be Chinese due to the racist bullying I received at school. As I grew older, I learned to be proud of my heritage.

❤❤ I am sorry to hear about the bullying you received. My first crush when I was 6 or younger was Bruce Lee. I truly learned to love and respect so many cultures. I wanted to learn Chinese and Japanese as a child, but my mom’s prejudice ways forbid me. Now at this age I am learning Korean to speak to my friends and Mandarin to get a better understanding of learning Korean with a friend from Taiwan. All of my friends are the best.

This is the most encouraging video to learn Chinese that I ever saw. It makes a lot easier when you explain the philosophy behind each word and ideogram. Chinese made sense to me for the first time.

I studied Japanese in Japan when I was younger. I am Italian and when I first saw a French friend of mine studying Japanese, I immediately fell in love with the language. Most of my classmates were either Chinese or Korean so they lused to joke about me (in a friendly way) when it took me centuries to copy something from the blackboard or when I couldn't possibly understand the meaning of a character. Our teachers only spoke Japanese. Everything was new to me in Japan but eventually, I found a dictionary ordered by number of strokes and life got much easier. To learn 漢字, I bought a special notebook used by elementary school children to ensure my characters were well drawn and spaced. A few years ago, I came across Chinese fantasy historical drama (xianxia) and I have been binge watching them ever since. I read the English subtitles which are normally below or above the Chinese subtitles and I am always pleased when I can recognise the characters. I would love to learn Chinese and Korean but I have been mostly bed ridden for the past three years due to a seriously debilitating disease. I live in Cambodia and learned a few essential words in Khmer, however to me visual languages are way more impactful than sound based languages. For a Western person, for example, the sign used for not smoking does not need any words, everybody understands it and what about the skull drawn on poison labels? Symbols are very powerful and I was surprised to have instant feelings whenever I see and recognise characters. The Chinese language, Japanese and Korean are visually emotional languages while other languages are more musical. You can express an entire concept just by looking at one character while other languages need many words. I will follow your program also hoping you will explain the difference between Mandarin, Cantonese and... the third one 😋. I also love Traditional Chinese Medicine, I received acupuncture treatment in Japan and whenever available, I use TCM. I am sure acupuncture can heal me but there is nobody available where I live. Unfortunately, unlike Thailand and Malaysia, Cambodia has been too Westernised and Traditional Chinese Medicine very hard to find. I hope the immortals are listening to my prayers and I invite them to help me heal! 🙏💖😜🤗😁

[@francozappala5470]

是的，我必须承认，在教中文的女性中，您是最优秀的。您的教学方法是我自己采用的，因为我住在中国，在自己了解了这个问题和中文的历史之后。我很高兴全神贯注、充满热情地跟随您。我也欣赏中式服装的使用，以及我让我的中国妻子在北京找裁缝做的教学。不要为了西方传统而抛弃自己的传统，因为你们的传统有很多东西可以教给西方。

Thank you for sharing! I decided to learn Chinese 2010 before going to China for the first time. I learnt basics and most pinyin...so when I came back to Göteborg, Sweden, where I live I signed up for a basic course at University. Most classmates were 2-nd and 3rd generation Chinese and had hard time trying to memorise characters. We learnt both simplified and traditional Chinese. I preferred the last one, since it's easy to relate to real images. Among my classmates was a Japanese girl. To my surprise I was doing better than her, even when Japanese had borrowed at least 60% of the Chineses words...(I got this information from our Chinese teacher). However I feel very proud of my Chinese skills, still I can understand when some Chinese speak and recognize more or less 100 characters (I used to understand 500 characters). I'd like to catch up Chinese in the near future and I will definitely contact you then! Xie xie

[@terrybrawlstarsaddict]

As a Chinesse person too, I would love to have a series where i can re-learn chinese again and get the same good feeling when i learn a new word. I would also get a better understanding with the series. Keep up the good work!

Musím uznat, že ty Asijské jazyky jsou opravdu dost zvláštní. Já se svou češtinou jsem velmi vzdálen pochopení tak komplexního modelu komunikace s tolik jiným fonetickým i písemným projevem. Připadá mi skoro jako nemožné se to naučit. A přitom třeba příbuzné jazyky jako je ruština nebo angličtina mě sice také nejdou nejlépe, ale jsem schopen poměrně dobře po kratší době se v nich zabydlet a používat je k základní komunikaci. Například programování v angličtině mě připadá jednoduché oproti porozumění čínštině.
