How difficult is it for foreigners to write Chinese characters?

It must be very difficult, and in the eyes of foreigners, Chinese characters look a little strange. One by one, the twists and turns are extremely complicated.

It is difficult for foreigners to write Chinese characters for a long time and are accustomed to writing alphabetical characters. It can first allow students to perceive the shape of the characters, understand the meaning of the words, remember the pronunciation of the words, and reduce the requirements for writing.

It is important for foreigners to find Chinese tutors to learn culture, and to combine the teaching of Chinese characters with Chinese traditions. 'Folding' is the wisdom of the Chinese, and 'turning a corner' is a combination of principle and flexibility.

Foreigners learn Chinese to interpret Chinese characters and taste life, and foreigners can learn Chinese through the study of Chinese characters to know the way of dealing with people and things, and can also read Chinese culture.

Many foreigners have a headache when they see Chinese characters, and they feel that this kind of text written without spaces between words is simply a book from heaven.

I don't believe in this evil, many crooked friends say that it is difficult to learn Chinese, that may be because they have not found the right way to open it.

For my French friend, there are nine paintings on it. It's about the same as if I didn't look at a model and make nine sketches in one sitting.

When high school students first saw me writing Chinese characters, many exclaimed, "Wow! You can write so many kanji!! "I almost laughed and cried.

I met a foreigner at school who spoke Chinese very well, and this guy could show off his skills to me in Chinese with children's pronunciation.

There are many foreigners who speak fluent Mandarin, and foreigners who write beautiful Chinese characters must have grown up in China.

Foreigners don't bother to write Chinese at all! Is it necessary for us to learn Vietnamese?

A person's ability to recognize a thing is closely related to the degree of familiarity with the object. If you don't believe me, you can do an experiment right away and compare Tibetan and Arabic, or Greek and Latin. I don't think Chinese or even Asians, Americans, and Africans who have not been exposed to these words will immediately distinguish the difference between the two pairs.

Similarly, a person from a non-East Asian cultural circle would not distinguish the difference between the Hangul alphabet of Chinese and Korean, let alone the difference between Japanese and Hanji and Chinese.

Similarly, as Asians of the yellow race, we can distinguish the nuances of the faces of Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Chinese. Because of the relationship between information and **, we have gradually begun to become familiar with the physiognomy characteristics of Europeans and Americans, for example, the appearance of Arabs who belong to white Central Asia and West Asia is quite different from that of Europe and the United States, and we should be able to distinguish them, but a Slav in Eastern Europe, Northern Europe and an Italian in Southern Europe may not be distinguishable from ordinary people. I am giving this example to illustrate that your familiarity with something determines your ability to distinguish between them.

So back to the question of Chinese characters, there is also a level of meaning understanding. It is very important for us humans to memorize a word, phrase or even sentence to understand the meaning, and with the memory of the text, we can compare it with the new words we have come into contact with to find their similarities and differences, and if we do not remember the words, we cannot distinguish them. And for people who do not understand Chinese, they naturally suffer in memory, for them to see Chinese can not understand the meaning, that is, can only be considered a complex structure of graphics, and graphic memory method is the vast majority of human beings do not have the ability to remember, so they can not evoke the memory of the words they have seen in the past (or even just seen), naturally can not be compared, then in their eyes every Chinese character in Chinese will also be "the same".

No, because not all Chinese characters are the same.

Foreigners look at Asian faces pretty much the same.

Chinese characters, when they see the characters 戊, 戌, 戍, 戎, they are probably going to cry, they have to take a ruler, an angle meter, to see if it is parallel, oblique, or crossed.

I really admire the ancestors.

Foreigners will also be like Chinese do not know the ancient script of their country, because the ancient script has evolved for many years now, and there have been many dissimilarities, so it is difficult to recognize.

Yes, this is very likely, because some foreign languages will also change when they are handed down to the present, and they will definitely not recognize them, which is also very normal.

Yes, because the ancient writing is different from the modern one, or even completely different, so it will definitely not be recognized.

Probably not, because foreign characters do not have several different scripts like Chinese characters, and Chinese characters are all pictographs, and their characters are just simple letters.

I think it will. No one is born knowing everything. It will be through repeated learning and accumulation. So it's normal not to know the ancient writing of your country.

Yes, many foreigners will also be like the Chinese, do not know the ancient language of their country, after all, the culture is too long-term.

Yes. Because compared with modern times, the ancient characters of each country are greatly distorted, and there is a situation where they are completely unrecognizable.

Sling the bull! If ancient times refer to 2,000 years ago, only Chinese can be recognized! If you refer to 5,000 years ago, Chinese did not know, and foreigners did not know!

I've been to American high schools before, I've been to a space camp in Hansville for a while, I've met two foreign teachers, and I've found foreigners I know (just the ones I know!). The English characters are not very good. Maybe they don't think it's very important.

It should be difficult for foreigners to learn to write kanji without systematic guidance. Quite difficult. Even with a good mentor, learn systematically.

It's going to take a little longer. It could be two or three years or more. It's really not easy to write well.

As for the exceptions, let's talk about it separately. Many people ask me how to practice English My personal experience is, buy an English text post (Italian), and then first one letter shape, the stroke (one hour to complete), start to practice the two letters of the pen, is ab, ac, ad so, all the letters are arbitrarily collocated, there are three or four hundred groups of it (some letters can not be connected, uppercase letters are not connected), each group to write 20 to 30 times, about a week 4Pick and write any words about 10 times each.

Pay attention to the pen, pay attention to the slope of the letters, should be oblique to the right 15 30 degrees, copy a week or so 5Then pay attention to the stroke and slope when writing English. There was a noticeable improvement after about 2 weeks.

In fact, most of the English scripts speak it. I don't think it's easy to write Chinese characters. Because sometimes there are characters that you don't recognize, and it's hard to come out with Chinese characters that you don't know, but English is different.

English has only 26 letters, at least you can guess how to write a word, and Chinese does not necessarily know every radical. And if I write kanji too fast, I sometimes can't read my own characters, and the teacher can't write on the blackboard.

The Chinese language has a history of thousands of years, constantly evolving and evolving, and there are six books: pictograms, huiyi, instructions, shape-sounds (word-making), transcribing, and borrowing (using words). From the pictographs, golden scripts, small seals, official scripts, line books, and regular scripts to the present, Chinese characters are really treasures of Chinese culture.

From traditional to simplified, fortunately foreigners didn't learn traditional Chinese, I think they will learn to cry. Hahaha This is an American student I taught, he has studied Chinese for about seven years, his Chinese level is very high, and he speaks Mandarin without a foreign accent, so there is basically no problem in communicating. He knew a lot of Chinese characters and attended an advanced Chinese class.

Foreigners also have to look at their mother tongue to write Chinese characters, and if there are Chinese characters in their native language, such as Japanese and Korean, it is generally not too ugly, because they both belong to the Chinese character cultural circle. If it's Thai, Lao, it's generally not so good-looking. When we learn Thai, we all call it "sprouts" in Thai, and Thai is really difficult to write, and when we write Thai, we know that it is painful.

Yes, the meaning of Chinese characters is very large, and foreigners generally do not understand it.

Make, because foreigners have said that they think Chinese characters are all the same.

Just like when we are exposed to English, there is no distinction.

Yes, it's like we look at foreign texts and feel dazzled.

Foreigners should look at Chinese characters and Chinese look at English.

Not anymore, Chinese characters are vast and profound.

It's not entirety, I think it depends mainly on how foreigners understand it.

It feels trendy and wants to use it for anything around me.

When I talk to many foreign friends about Chinese, they find it difficult to write Chinese characters. What we Chinese can't understand, we will say that it is "Book of Heaven", and the French say that it is "Chinese". I think the main problem is that there is no obvious connection between the pronunciation and writing of Chinese characters, especially the current square characters, which cannot give people an intuitive impression.

Personally, I think that in order to solve the problem of foreigners' difficulty in writing, we must start with the evolution of Chinese characters, so that they can understand how Chinese characters evolved from hieroglyphs (draw whatever they want to express) to the current square characters, and it is easier to learn.

I would like to recommend Professor Zhang Pengpeng's book on teaching Chinese to foreigners, and my thoughts coincide with his, that is, spelling (reading) and (writing) are taught separately, and it is not necessary to be able to write what can be said at the beginning. The following is a list of books, which are basically in Chinese and English:

Commonly Used Chinese Radicals", by Zhang Pengpeng, Chinese Language Teaching Publishing House (I love to turn this book when I have nothing to do, and it is really interesting to see the evolution of characters).

Rapid Development of Chinese Characters for Foreigners", edited by Zhou Jian and Lin Baisong, Chinese Teaching Publishing House (this book is illustrated, there are various fonts, but there is no evolutionary process, but in general it is not bad).

A Key to Chinese Speech and Writing", by Jo L Bellessen and Zhang Pengpeng, Chinese Language Teaching Press (this book slightly mentions the evolution of fonts, because it is co-edited by Chinese and foreigners, it may be more suitable for foreigners).

The orthodox learning method is the same as when we learn English, first learn pinyin and phonetic transcription, and then slowly learn Chinese characters from the vocabulary list behind the simple text dialogue.
