Omg, you saved me! I hadn't found a useful tutorial about Chinese characters till I found yours. It has given me the path I have to follow in order to write Chinese characters, thank you!!

I'm learning Chinese myself and writing out the characters helps me learn them all the better- but I've been frustrated with how my handwriting has looked! This has helped so much in giving me a starting block to improve my handwriting, thank you!

I really liked how you broke it down. I am using duolingo and youtube to learn but was having a hard time writing down the characters for notes. I want to be able to read the Han zi the same way I read and write in English. I think learning the written language helps alot with learning because in order to learn you have to practice writing it down and reading it repeatedly to study(same way I learned English and Spanish). This video was so helpful. Thank you.

Nice job it was great. could you please make a series on all of 32 strokes, writing them with pen or pencil I'm just starring to learn the written Chinese and I think there are more people in the same situation out there. but the thing is that there are not suitable video educational material like yours on the KZfaq especially on Chinese writing.
