YOU Can read Chinese! This is how you learn Chinese. First, you learn the pictograms, which are pictures of literal objects. Then you learn the ideograms, which are symbols of abstract concepts. Then you learn the combined concept characters, where two characters are combined to express a third concept common to both. All these are by sight reading, they are not phonetic. And then, finally, you learn the picto-phonetic characters, which combine at least a phonetic clue with a semantic key. Picto-semantic characters are the greatest amount of characters but are also less frequent than the other characters. http: //tinyurl.com/pictogrampalaceplaylist This book breaks down Chinese characters into their pictographic, phonetic, and semantic elements.

Hanzi Gong uses the Shuangfa method to bring Chinese characters to life! You learn what the characters REALLY mean how the characters are combined to form other characters. The mythical Cang Jie, who invented the Chinese characters, is brought to life to teach You! Chinese started out as pictograms: pictures of literal objects! It's Just pictures! These pictures however became stylized and standardized and simplified to make writing easier. The pictures and symbols of the simplest characters are then combined and recombined to form pictophonetic characters which have have sound clue and lots of symbolid meaning. It's a great puzzle and real joy because each character has an inner logic that conveys meaning. Chinese is basically sight reading by syllables, and once you understand to start with the pictograms, that it's all sight readings, and that the phonetic clues are syllables not letters it becomes a wonderful adventure! http: //tinyurl.com/pictogrampalace http: //tinyurl.com/pictogrampalacepaperbackhttp: //tinyurl.com/pictogrampalaceplaylist
