## What is Bridges?

In order to read Chinese you need to know more than 3000 characters.

But don't be scared, all these characters are made of a much smaller number of components, and these components often give clues about character meaning or pronunciation.

In this app you can learn the components and how they can be combined into characters.

Autorenewable subscription for 1 month costs $1.99. The renewal fee will be charged in the last 24 hours of the current period. Subscription for the next period can be cancelled in Account Settings. Already paid subscriptions cannot be cancelled.

You can have one week's trial, unused part of the trial period will be cancelled after the subscription fee is paid.
