Learn Chinese Characters Online Free

I’ve heard so many complaints about how difficult Chinese characters are. When I really realized that Chinese characters are difficult to foreigners is after I started to learn Korean. I found that you can read all the Korean characters after learned the 21 vowels and 19 consonants while in Chinese, you can’t. Also, you can guess how to spell the word after hearing the pronunciation of an English word. However, for Chinese, you have to study the Pinyin, what’s more, you can’t write out Chinese according to its pronunciation for there was no connection between the sound and character.
If you are also being frustrated by writing in the process of Chinese learning, I hope these websites can help you.

This website offers the very basic courses for the users. They make the users study Chinese by different topics. The contents of each lesson are rich and detailed which includes conversation, new words, notes, extension, grammar points, and exercises. Even more, they create the gif image to show the strokes of a Chinese character. Only one flaw that I found on this website is there has no video or record to teach pronunciation, which might not be able to correct the learner’s pronunciation in case he pronounces wrong.
