Stroke Order websites

[Desmond]

Hey guys,

Does anybody know of any websites which will show the stroke order for characters (for any characters that I'm unsure of how to write).

Thanks!

Hi Desmond - I have found these: http://zhongwen.com/shufa/ and Loads of stuff here in the section entitled 'Tools for Learning Chinese' click [Learn to Draw Chinese Characters].

There's a great little program called "MemChinese" which is excellent for learning stroke order.

Had a go with the trial version at MemChinese. Looks really good but not much functionality on the trial version. Need to buy the thing - $34.95 for download.

Awesome, thanks! I tried zhongwen.com and it has the stroke order I was looking for. I'm downloading the trial of the program as I'm writing this, and maybe that will be another helpful resource.

Euroasia also has a free online stroke order database at http://www.mandarinteacher.com/dictionary/

MDBG free online Chinese-English dictionary probably has what you need. It does not give the rules for stroke order or the names of the strokes but it gives the order for each simplified character. Unfortunately it is lacking traditional if that is what you need. But next to each character, is a brush icon, a magnifing glass and a google.com "G". Click on the brush and a flash type animation starts up showing the *exact* stroke order, including start position and direction.

Hope this helps.
