Good for learning stroke order and very basic characters
This book is a good introduction to learning to write Mandarin Chinese Characters. It does not provide much practice space however because it only gives you 8 small blocks to practice the character. They are small so that makes things even trickier.

Fun and Helpful!
This workbook is like so good omg. It’s the perfect starter book if you’re looking to learn Mandarin Chinese! I just love how the book is organized and structured. There’s a lot of spaces to practice your writing and there’s examples to learn off of. The practice questions are also straightforward, helps in sentence structure, and is a good review tool. Overall, great workbook!

Great for learning - Thank you for making it available.
A few months ago, I decided to learn a new language. The deal is, some of that new language crosses over into Chinese - there's similarities in pronunciation. So, I purchased this to help me quickly reference/refer and help keep me focused. This way I can learn about the similarities, and differences, and (hopefully) build the language skills more effectively.

So helpful! Great for beginners!
I started to learn Chinese 2 years ago but stopped for a bit so I used this as a refresher. It’s been so helpful for learning how to properly write (stroke order), crafting my own sentences, speaking, and recognizing characters. I’m almost done and feel like I have a much better grasp of Mandarin and how to write!

Très simple et très bien
J'ai acheté ce livre pour maîtriser la lecture et l'écriture des sinogrammes pour l'examen hsk 1 de chinois. À défaut d'être esthétique, ce livre est bien fait. Les explications sont simples. Les mots sont présentés dans l'ordre logique d'apprentissage. Pour chaque mot, on a le sinogramme en chinois simplifié, sa version traditionnelle, le pinyin, quelques usages, le radical et en dessous un grille d'entraînement avec les dessins dans l'ordre. Au bout de quelques mots, on a une série de petits exercices d'écriture puis au bout d'un moment de lecture. Vraiment très pragmatique et bien fait. Je suis ravie de l'avoir acheté.
