Its a dictionary Scotty, but not as we know it!- J.T.Kirk by Stephen Bean Send Feedback to Stephen Bean Learn ChineseMore Details about Learn Chinese here.
Feature Articles: Visualisation specialist S.H.Bean looks at novel ways of learning to write them. Learning a new language based on the Roman alphabet is relatively easy if the Learner already speaks English, of French, as the learner dosent need to learn a new writing style or Alphabet. Whilst many attempts have been made to provide support for students learning say, Chinese. None have managed to get to the crux of the problem, that is helping the student learn to write CURSIVE Chinese. There are reasons why the current tools, mobile and windows based dont do this. One its easier to just copy the Character from a word doc. and add it to say a Flash based web tool. Two, eLearning software companies developing in this area follow the same old teaching method route: give the student the Times Roman equivalent of a Chinese Character and run!! But cursive? this would mean that the individual character would have to be hand written and displayed in real-time, added to a data base, and made platform specific. You cant write a script for cursive !! A better approach would be to develop a system that would allow the display of realtime authentic cursive demonstrations. Chinese is difficult enough, but trying to copy the equivalent of Times Roman ( say from a Flash based system) is pure silly. And the drop-out rates in first year in Universities around the world prove it. On average they are at 94 percent. With logographic writing systems stroke order, stroke direction and stoke number are critically important. Wouldnt it be much better to show the student how the character is written in real-time, in cursive???
