Analytical approach to learning Chinese characters.
When we analyze something we better understand and
quickly memorize it. The same is with the learning Chinese characters. When we
see and understand what radicals and components the character consists of, our
mind does not resist to absorbing this information. We easily learn what we
understand. If we do not understand the structure of a character, then we need
to spend hours and days writing and writing this character.
Let us analyze the Chinese character去 qù go
去 qù go
土 tǔ earth
十 shí ten
一 yī one
丨 gǔn line
一 yī one
厶 sī private
土十一丨一厶
Now the character去 looks more familiar to us, doesn’t it?
