Happy Chinese New Year

A challenge for me has to be long enough to gain momentum, but short enough to keep sight of realistic goals. It’s easier to see 90 days out as opposed to 180 days.

Learning 481 Chinese Characters in One Week

I’m finding my groove using Heisig’s book. I originally planned on learning 30 characters per day. I found that it’s more efficient for me to focus on 2 lessons per day.

Remembering the Hanzi: Take it to the Next Level

I wish that I had started Remembering the Hanzi when I first started this challenge. I was going to learn 30 characters per day, but I’m getting through 30 in just 10 minutes.

Remembering the Hanzi: Learning Chinese Characters

I was thinking about going through the book Remembering the Hanzi by Heisig. I see glowing recommendations for learning kanji, but I see reviews for the hanzi book are pretty much straight down the middle. I want to check the book out for myself.

My Challenge to Learn Japanese and Chinese

’m doing an experiment where I’m learning Chinese and Japanese using two different methods. The principal of simulated language immersion is common to both. However, I’m going to see how far I can get with Japanese by only playing Japanese video games.
