Starting Chinese
Chinese is among the MOST difficult to learn languages as there is no way you can READ the words if you haven't encountered them before. The only way to know how to read the words are to commit them to memory.
A Chinese word always:
1) has a radical
2) uses the basic strokes
3) has a method of writing using the CORRECT stroke steps
The strokes (these are the only ones that I could find in the computer):
Dian (Dot)-丶
Hen (Horizontal Stroke)- 一 (drawn ↑ direction)
Shu (Vertical Stroke)- 丨 (drawn ↓ direction)
Pie (Downwards Diagonal-Left)- 丿 (drawn ↙ direction)
Na (Downwards Diagonal-Right)- \ (drawn ↘ direction)
Ti (Upwards Diagonal-Right)- / (drawn ↗ direction)
Basic Numerals:
一 Yi (1)
二 Er (2)
三 San (3)
四 Si (4)
五 Wu (5)
六 Liu (6)
七 Qi (7)
八 Ba (8)
九 Jiu (9)
十 Shi (10)
