Learn to Write Chinese Characters (Yale Language)

This book is really easy to use. It has a brief overview of Chinese writing history and then it goes in to the writing of the characters. It teaches you about different strokes that form the characters and also shows you how to draw the strokes in order. There is also the simplified version of the characters as well next to the traditional characters. It is easy to read, understand and learn. A very good book for a beginner. I'm enjoying the book!

This is an excellent book for anybody who didn't grow up writing characters to learn how to write them better. sit down with it conscientiously every day for a month, and your character writing (efficiency, speed, grace, memorization) will improve significantly.

I skimmed this book then had the good fortune to take a lesson in Chinese caligraphy from a native artist and caligrapher. This book followed exactly the master's method and guidelines. Mr. Bjorksten has written a very clear explanation about the construction of Chinese characters with easy to follow guidelines on how to do Chinese caligraphy.

This is an excellent paperback book with perfect instruction and help.
