Posted on: Do I Need To Learn Chinese Characters?

Good to know, thanks Kamillo ! But I see that learning with apps is certainly easier than in a old (pen-and-paper) way. I have no smartphone and I learn Chinese with Wenlin, Chinesepod and... notebooks ! So I guess that learning to recognize Chinese characters is possible with modern tools ! Anyway, I'll keep in mind your apps. Who knows, if someday I buy a smartphone... Thanks again !

I do agree to your opinion. Even when you've not reached 100 h of study, you begin to get muddled up by homonyms. One the other side, people don't have to be afraid of learning Chinese characters: the more you learn them, the more they are easy to learn. Nevertheless, I really don't know how to learn to recognize characters without learning how to write them. Any ideas ?

And if they are not lucky: back to China ?

Lydia, I still think that you do something for those poor girls. Just being there and speaking their native language is something, I guess. What happens to them after ?

Hi Toianw

Thank you for your very complete answer and the links. It seems that China want a fait accompli to be adopted by population. GMO is really not a simple question...
