Where Chineasy`s books, flashcards & memory game helped learners to recognize a diverse range of characters, this new workbook offers the opportunity to practise writing Chinese characters. Noma Bar`s playful & appealing colour illustrations are interspersed with practical pages showing learners how to write the characters themselves. Short facts illuminate the meaning of a character or the origin of its shape, while a guide to the correct stroke order & grids to help with spacing allow learners to perfect their writing skills.

A Boxset of 100 postcards depicting the most common ‘building blocks’ of the Chinese language. Use them to learn the basic of these language and/or mail them to spread the Chineasy way of learning! The Chinese language is traditionally taught through a series of between roughly 180 & 215 radicals. These radicals are then used to form the characters of the Chinese language. Chineasy has broken down this collection of characters into their most basic & recurring forms, allowing students to learn fewer & simpler radicals that we have termed building blocks. One building block, or a specific compound form of the building block can be combined with one or more other characters to make a compound character. Two or more independent characters can be placed next to one another to make phrases. In compounds, a whole new character is created; in phrases, the placement of characters next to one another gives a new meaning to the collection of characters. This principle of building blocks is what makes Chineasy so easy! ...
