FROM THE AUTHOR (青树):
We believe that children can learn to appreciate the art of Chinese language and the traditional values of Chinese culture, and wish to help parents who want to teach their children Chinese. We believe that children need not learn by tedious and boring process of memorizing Chinese, instead, learning can be a fun and effortless process.
Children can learn to appreciate the structure of Chinese characters through Chinese-Artword learning concept. In addition they also learn to recognize pictographs, symbols, radicals and joint-meaning characters that are formed by a combination of pictographs or symbols. The opportunity to encounter a vast volume of compound words and sentences will boost children’s vocabulary and improve their ability to read, write and express themselves.
We appreciate and value any advice and feedback from the users of the app. Visit our website www.chinese-artword.com
