Good Site To Learn Chinese Writing?

[eklypze 0]

Hi everyone.

Right now I am looking for a place that I can learn to write Chinese characters. I can speak a little Mandarin, but not very well. I would like to learn Chinese writing because I am half Chinese myself and would like to be able to speak and write Chinese. I cannot afford any books at the moment, and can't get a teacher. So the only way I can learn is off the internet, can someone recommend me a good site that I can learn to write Chinese? I am looking for a site that can teach me enough so that I can read a Chinese newspaper, or at least some of it. Thanks in advance!

not all of those directly, but there are links.

there's something that's been invented recently, it's called google.

Thanks for the links. I have already checked Google. A lot of the links I ran into didn't have what I wanted so I thought it might be easier to just ask.

confucious say: google provides results. not answers.

Laozi say: "Who needs answers when you have results?"

Anyone who really can't afford a basic Chinese textbook probably has more immediate problems than learning Chinese.

I forgot to mention, no bookstores near me have any Chinese textbooks and I cannot order online because I don't have a credit card either. So learning online is the only option I can think of right now.

I am interested in learning basic strokes, stroke orders, and basic characters.

Yeah, so they shouldn't do anything else right? Dumb answer.
