In this lesson I'll Introduce you to Chinese Characters and their history. We'll take a look at how the Chinese characters for Person, Tree, and Horse evolved from the earliest known characters that are over 3,000 years old to modern day characters. I'll also discuss Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters.
I hope you enjoy this lesson and find it useful. Also, If you are interested in private Chinese lessons, please visit my website: harbinmandarin.com and send me a message.
Thank you!
Yishuang

After mastering some Chinese and Chinese characters, it'll be easier to learn Korean and Japanese. Cos 70% of Korean written vocabularies were from Chinese, while Japanese language also uses a lot of Chinese characters.

Respected mam, I have been learning Chinese from your you tube channel..your lessons made my learning process easy..I am really thankful to your free video lessons mam. And now when I plan to take hsk level 1 exam. I donot know how to apply for exams, ie in which website to apply and whether complete online exams are there or where the exam centre is. Kindly please assist me with how to apply and attend exams online, I am residing in India, Tamil Nadu, Chennai. Here in Chennai ( city where i reside), There are few institutions which take classes and assists students for exams, when i approached them regarding this ,they said they will help only if i join in their class as a their student. I cannot afford for the fees which they charge here mam and also I am more comfortable with self learning and I feel more productive when i learn from your channels and from other internet sources.. Is it possible to assist me regarding this mam..I will be very thankful to you..

Hello Teacher . All of your lectures are very good but many of your students want to learn writing this language . Therefore it is requested that you prepare some classes on the strokes ,characters etc . Also you have to tell the correct strokes order for certain characters and words .

@HarbinMandarin
@HarbinMandarin Жыл бұрын
Good question! The question particle 吗(ma) is a semantic phonetic compound, which means part of the character gives hints about the character's meaning, and another part gives hints about its pronunciation. 吗 has 马(horse) in it because the pronunciation of 吗(ma) sounds similar to 马 (mǎ).
