Chinese Handwriting Is Hard. This Is How I Improved Quickly.
<p>During my study of Chinese language, I’ve encountered a problem with my handwriting skill. The five years I am trying to learn, I’ve got reasonably skilled in reading, listening and speaking, but writing only using a regular computer keyboard. In modern Chinese society, this is not a problem, as practically all written communication is done by a smartphone or computer. I can enter the pronunciation of a character in <em>pinyin</em>, phrases in regular English alphabet, and the computer presents me a list of possible characters to choose from. I can enter entire phrases of pinyin and let my phone make a good guess of what I mean to write, even if I leave out some letters.</p>
<p>However, as soon as I am required to write using pencil and paper, I suddenly seem not to remember how some characters are written. Studying higher levels of Chinese language requires me to write articles, and my school teachers do not accept homework articles written on a computer. This becomes especially painful as I am now able to recognize around 1,000 characters, but helpless when I try handwrite sentences from an elementary course.</p>
