    I really liked how you broke it down. I am using duolingo and youtube to learn but was having a hard time writing down the characters for notes. I want to be able to read the Han zi the same way I read and write in English. I think learning the written language helps alot with learning because in order to learn you have to practice writing it down and reading it repeatedly to study(same way I learned English and Spanish). This video was so helpful. Thank you.

    could you please make a series on all of 32 strokes, writing them with pen or pencil I'm just starring to learn the written Chinese and I think there are more people in the same situation out there. but the thing is that there are not suitable video educational material like yours on the CZcams especially on Chinese writing.

      I teach Chinese language in a creative and funny way.
      Know yourself as well as your opponents or partners.
      Learning a completely different language is funnier and more thought-provoking. Learning Chinese can help you get firsthand and comprehensive information and analysis about China.
      Chinese characters still retain their pictographic origins. Knowing what the characters look like originally can help understand the meanings and remember them vividly.
      I’ve spent about 100,000 hours studying English humor and Western culture, and many years studying Chinese culture and jokes. My native language is Chinese.
