Learning Chinese in a Snowstorm

If it snows as hard as the forecasts say it will, then I’ll be pretty much stranded on Saturday and much of Sunday. Naturally, I’ll either be snuggling up to Remembering the Hanzi or staring at the wall.

Remembering the Hanzi: Update

I mentioned that I’m also doing memory training. The concepts in the memory training program and in Remembering the Hanzi are very similar because they encourage the use of vivid imagery to engage the mind. Our minds tend to think in pictures. I can really appreciate Heisig’s techniques. Onward!

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.
