eklypze Posted June 22, 2004 at 11:37 PM Report Posted June 22, 2004 at 11:37 PM Hi everyone. Right now I am looking for a place that I can learn to write Chinese characters. I can speak a little Mandarin, but not very well. I would like to learn Chinese writing because I am half Chinese myself and would like to be able to speak and write Chinese. I cannot afford any books at the moment, and can't get a teacher. So the only way I can learn is off the internet, can someone recommend me a good site that I can learn to write Chinese? I am looking for a site that can teach me enough so that I can read a Chinese newspaper, or at least some of it. Thanks in advance! Quote
xuechengfeng Posted June 23, 2004 at 12:16 AM Report Posted June 23, 2004 at 12:16 AM http://www.csulb.edu/~txie/online.htm www.zhongwen.com http://www.mandarintools.com/ not all of those directly, but there are links. there's something that's been invented recently, it's called google. Quote
eklypze Posted June 23, 2004 at 06:29 PM Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 at 06:29 PM Thanks for the links. I have already checked Google. A lot of the links I ran into didn't have what I wanted so I thought it might be easier to just ask. Quote

eklypze Posted June 25, 2004 at 07:20 PM Author Report Posted June 25, 2004 at 07:20 PM I forgot to mention, no bookstores near me have any Chinese textbooks and I cannot order online because I don't have a credit card either. So learning online is the only option I can think of right now. Quote
geek_frappa Posted June 26, 2004 at 01:11 AM Report Posted June 26, 2004 at 01:11 AM what concepts are you interested in? i can upload some sample PDFs of books... Quote
