Hi guys, do any of you already know about this site? You can make practice sheets of words you like. Just found it looking for something else.

I think it looks pretty cool.

Hi zhenlijiang

Thanks for that - it does look pretty cool, and useful (I'm assuming that you can just print from the screen.) The 'step up' I guess I see with the book I posted above (did I do that? I have no recollection) is that it is a collection of 说明 - stuff that is interesting to read and interpret, and quite a challenge for me even though this kind of thing is introduced to primary school students in China. I look forward to doing some writing (tracing) because I want to know what the writer has in store for me.

Also, as I think I posted elsewhere, there is a section at the top that discusses radicals and how to write them - I like this kind of prose because I need to be able to talk about characters with native speakers.

Hi Bodawei, yes I see that. That's why I want those books for myself, because the kind of passages written can help us foreigners get a little taste of what Chinese kids get taught in school, yes.
