The built-in realtime feedback, positive reinforcement and compelling user experience will help you retain what you acquired and keep you going to achieve your writing goals. EXCLUSIVE RESEARCH AND JIAGU IMAGES You will learn the fascinating way in which Chinese characters were constructed thousands of years ago. The  notes for each character is based on our original research and authentic roots of the earliest Chinese bone scripts, or “jiagus”. You will discover how meaning was originally constructed in Chinese character, and be able to "see" the cultural context embedded in  the modern characters used today. You get to know Chinese culture first hand at once when you study with this app. USING “GRAPHEMES” TO BOOST COMPREHENSION Delight in learning how to decipher the meaning of more complex Chinese Characters as you learn to recognize the most basic graphical units of meaning, which we call “graphemes.” The manner and use of graphemes is unique to the model of Chinese Writing Systems invented by our founder to make understanding Chinese characters both more logical and more intuitive. LEARN FROM A RESEARCH TEAM DEDICATED TO CHINESE WRITING While there are many useful products and methods for learning to speak Chinese, few if any compelling products exist for learning writing Chinese characters, mainly because both teaching and learning to write Chinese has typically been considered too challenging. As our enterprise name, Chinese Writing Systems™ indicates, our focus is Chinese writing. We specialize on providing content, methods, tools and other materials to help people effectively learn to recognize and produce Chinese characters through understanding the true nature of the writing system. But don’t worry, the spoken Mandarin and written pronunciation in pinyin are provided for every character as part of the total character-learning experience in the app. A ROADMAP FOR BUILDING YOUR KNOWLEDGE In each lesson the ten characters presented have been carefully selected and grouped to demonstrate the underlying principles how characters are constructed. Going beyond learning those characters you will appreciate the inner workings of Chinese writing as a logical system that will facilitate and speed up the learning process. You will find learning to become easier and faster as each lesson builds upon the previous one to increase your skills and improve your performance. MORE THAN JUST CHARACTERS As you progress through the lessons, you will come to understand the logic and techniques used to construct graphical meaning in Chinese characters.
