geniusChinese is a patent-pending system that shows how to imagine each of the 5467 simplified characters as a picture or a combination of pictures, without getting into the technique details of how the character evolves from its pictograph. Each stroke of a Chinese character is colored according to a part of the picture. This vivid and direct contrast between a simplified character and a picture helps a learner to understand and memorize the meaning of the character more efficiently than studying the character's archaic form. A pronunciation mnemonics, an English word that shares the first few letters of the Pinyin of the Chinese character, is provided for many characters. Each character is also accompanied with a brief rhyme explaining the picture and reciting its pronunciation. When a student who may not fully appreciate the meaning of the rhyme imitates it for a couple of times, they are still able to retain the character's prounuciation by using the rhyme as a clue. Furthermore, because the strokes are colorful, a learner can instantly tell which stroke is written after another by checking if its color covers another's. This product is both audio and visual. Other "geniusChinese" teaching series are available for various Chinese learning needs. Free registration at www.geniusChinese.com.

  • Look at the character for "beautiful" @ 0:49. "Lamb Sacrifice"? sound familiar? Early Genesis accounts occur in many Chinese pictographs and characters. The "sacrificial lamb" character appears often in Chinese "radicals". Do some research yourselves. As Spock would say, "facinating".
