How to write Chinese?

First of all, everything posted on Writing Chinese for Kids blog is for everybody who is interested in learning Chinese and Mandarin(the official Chinese language).  Let me say it again....It is not only limited for kids, but everybody.

Although you can trace the line on the activity sheets and eventually know how to write Chinese, there are some rules you need to follow.

If the child(ren) starts it right, you build up the foundation for them to thrive.  I would imagine every parent in this planet would love to see their kid(s) prospers.

Activity Sheet:
1) On top of each sheet, there is the "pinyin".  It looks like English which is the way to pronounce that Chinese character in Mandarin.
2) The word next to the "pinyin" is the meaning of that word.
3) Below the "pinyin" and the English word is the Chinese character.
4) You can trace the Chinese character on one row and then let the child to try it to write by him/herself.
5) Please feel free to print out more copies for practicing if it is needed.
6) You need to have Adobe Reader to open the files.  Here is the link to download the FREE software:

Chinese Character Stroke Order:
Always remember these rules when you write Chinese.
1) From left to right
2) From top to bottom.

P.S. At the time of writing, there is no .wav file (a.k.a. sound recording) ready yet.  But eventually, I will upload them.  Stay tuned.
P.S.S.  http://www.chinababy365.com/ This is a very good website. They have 300+ Apps to download.  Some of them are very interactive which helps to stimulate the interests of your child(ren) to learn Chinese.

Enjoy the fun and growth of your child(ren) writing Chinese!
