Hi, everybody in this video i will share how I learned chinese characters
and how you can learn and get used to chinese characters as well.
So I am Korean,
to those of you who are just tuning in,
and I finished online education in Korea.
And in Korean education system,
we learn hanja, Chinese characters from public education as early as 5th or 6th grade
in elementary school.
You might probably be wondering, what is hanja? I thought it's hanzi.
But hanja is a Koreanized word for hanzi.
So hanja is what chinese characters are called in Korean and it has
Koreanized pronunciations for each character.
And we learn Chinese characters because there are so many Sino-Korean vocabularies in Korean langauge,
the loan words from Chinese,
So, knowledge on Chinese characters definitely help us widen our vocabulary span
and also have a better understanding about the root of many words.
So due to hanja education, most Koreans have at least
some basic knowledge on Chinese characters.
For example, most of us know the meaning of these
basic chinese characters and
The first blue part of each name indicates the meaning of the character,
and the second red part indicates how the character is read, how it's pronounced in Korean.
However just because we're familiar with
some Chinese characters, doesn't mean we know the Chinese language, the Mandarin language.
Two languages' grammar structure and pronunciation system are very different.
And in fact, Chinese language is more similar to English than it is to Korean in many ways.
But the knowledge on some characters do give us the advantage to learn and comprehend Chinese faster
compared to the learners who have never even seen
Chinese characters before,
which is most of you if you're not from East Asian culture.
So what I'm trying to get across to you is how
important learning Chinese characters is, when it comes to learning Chinese.
I've met so many Chinese learners, especially those from Western countries
Who think they can just get by only knowing pinyin without learning
Chinese characters properly.
But that way, your Chinese can reach a certain level, but it can never go beyond that or deeper than that.
For example, I miss you in Chinese is,
but associating the the pinyin itself to "I miss you" and
the characters to "I miss you" is a totally different feeling and different depth.
Even if you're, speaking the same sentence, it's a different level of understanding,
so you will always feel like you are missing something if you don't learn Chinese characters together.
I know at first glance learning all those unfamiliar, complicated, squiggly, picture-like characters
seem very daunting and difficult
but once you get past the unavoidable initial struggle, it will feel much easier to read and write properly
and you will eventually get the hang of it.
So from this point on,
I will share some tips on learning Chinese characters
but, don't get your hopes up too much because it's no magical formula
It's a very realistic and scientific method, so let's begin.
Every Chinese characters has stroke orders.
So you cannot just randomly draw the character as you deem comfortable.
This is hard to learn all by by yourself
so I recommend that you learn with free YT tutorials online,
or real life teachers or taking classes.
You can also take paid online courses.
I will include some video clips and website in the description box.
And the next two tips are about memorizing Chinese characters, so here's a tip number two:
As i told you earlier, the way Koreans learn hanja
is that we put the name on each character with
the meaning and pinyin (the pronunciation) combined
so when we see, for example, these basic characters,
we just instantly know the meaning and how it's pronounced (in koreanized pinyin.)
And I think would work for any CSL learners. In fact, it's a brilliant method.
By being constantly exposed to the character, pinyin and meaning simultaneously,
you are practicing how to easily match all three in your head.
And here are some specific tips that i use to memorize the characters
So in my notebook,
I write the same characters six to seven times, and put pinyin and meaning all together.
So this becomes one group, and there is another group of a different character with
different pinyin and meaning, and the groups go on in the next pages.
This way, the characters stick in your head faster and longer,
because your eyes are not seeing just one character
but they are inputting repetitive information in bulk, if that makes sense.
Or if you feel too lazy to write down that many times,
you can also get a small notepad or a portable card note like this
and write one huge character per page but, make sure to include
pyinyin and meaning as well.
And this way you can just easily flip through pages
reviewing all the Chinese characters you have learned when you are bored in a public transit
or alone waiting for someone.
In other words, use your senses to memorize it.
Tip number one was mostly using your sight and
that's one way of using your senses
but other ways include using your voice (mouth) and your hand.
So the most ideal way to use your senses as much as you can is to read out loud the pinyin
while you are writing the characters simultaneously.
This way, you use all your voice, hearing because you hear what you're saying, and your hands.
And the more you practice writing the characters by yourself,
the more you get used to the stroke orders and you'll get the hang of some sort of pattern in the strokes,
and that will help you learn more advanced and complicated characters a lot easily later on.
You will also get to feel with your hands the subtle and tricky differences between characters that look similar.
The best tool to practice with, is Chinese characters writing book
but you don't necessarily have to buy it although there are many in the bookstore.
You can actually make your, own writing book,
like this, you can, copy/paste some Chinese characters
and print it out to practice on it.
Or you can also get a random piece of empty paper
and write down the characters that you learned from the book or from the internet.
So all in all it's all about training your brain through, sight mouth and hands
to get to a level where, when you see the Chinese characters, you just instantly recognize the character.
It's like, in your own native language, when you see a word you know, such as, happiness or peace
once you see it you just instantly know how to pronounce it, how to write it, and what it means.
That should be the goal when it comes to learning Chinese characters
or any other foreign languages for that matter.
Of course, it doesn't happen overnight or integer period of time; that's why it's called a goal.
But the tips i shared will spare you from additional frustration so trust me and try it.
So I hope this helped!
