There are some young people who grew up abroad when they were young. After returning to China, although they can listen and speak, they do not know how to write or recognize Chinese characters.
So in this case, if you want to learn Chinese characters, it is recommended to start from scratch. Since I can already listen and speak, there are no language or grammar problems, so I only need to learn to recognize words. There is no difference between the learning method and the learning method of native speakers.
First of all, spend a day or two to learn Pinyin well. There are only more than 40 pronunciations in Pinyin, and each pronunciation has 4 intonations. You only need to learn 40 pronunciations. For those who can already speak but can’t For people who can write, pronunciation and intonation are not a big problem.
Then you can buy one or two books with pinyin for the first grade of elementary school, and then read and understand the text according to pinyin, and then copy each word.
Chinese is not the same as English. Chinese is a hieroglyphic character. Hieroglyphic characters need to be copied by hand. It is the same as drawing. You need to make more use of the memory of your hands. The more you copy the characters, the more you will naturally master them. Wrote. Chinese characters are graphic characters and as long as you can write them, you will naturally recognize them.
When learning to write, you should pay attention to the order of strokes. What is the order of strokes? You have to study it carefully. Of course, if you learn calligraphy from the beginning, the order of strokes will be slightly different from the standard. With a little attention, you can usually teach yourself without a teacher.
When learning Chinese characters, you should learn according to the frequency of Chinese characters. For commonly used Chinese characters, I start with 1,500, then learn 3,500, and finally learn 6,000. Basically, after learning 6,000 Chinese characters, I am no different from ordinary people. At my level, I have only mastered 1,500 Chinese characters.
After learning 1,500 Chinese characters, you should try your best to get rid of Pinyin. Learn Chinese characters well by relating them to the context of the article. At this stage, you should do more reading, you can read newspapers, and when you encounter Chinese characters you don’t understand, you can look it up in a dictionary. There are two types of Chinese dictionaries, one is based on pinyin, and the other is based on strokes. .
If you don’t understand the pronunciation, you can quickly find the pronunciation of Chinese characters by looking up the strokes.
After learning to write, you still need to learn to form words. Although you can already speak and read, whether you can use the right words is still a big problem. Learn how to form words in a systematic way. Can prevent typos.
