Wubi Practice

[wtanaka]

Does anyone know of a good set of text to learn how to type Wubi?

[danka]

I learned it from this page:

http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/wubi/xing.html

I found it quite useful. Given this and a lot of practice, you will most probably make it.

I learned the concepts from that page as well. My question is, how did you practice?

[danka]

My practicing was not done in an organised way. Whenever I needed to type Chinese I used Wubi - painful and slow in the beginning, but now it has shaped up.

Why not just take an arbitrary piece of text, your favourite novel or newspaper article, and copy it?

For practising Wubi, you might want to check out 五笔快打.

It's pretty thorough, and has support for the 3 main wubi standards (86, 98, 18030).

You get a 14 day trial which should be enough to get you up to speed on the basics. Registration is only 25RMB, and then you also get access to more articles for typing, the ability to use your own articles to practise typing, as well as practise drills for 3, 4, N character combinations.
