889 Posted July 28, 2016 at 12:31 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 at 12:31 PM But the ㄓㄨㄧㄣㄈㄨㄏㄠ next to each character makes reading the Chinese text difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etm001 Posted July 29, 2016 at 04:25 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 at 04:25 AM But the ㄓㄨㄧㄣㄈㄨㄏㄠ next to each character makes reading the Chinese text difficult. It's simply a question of practice and familiarity. Millions of children learn Mandarin characters this way with no difficulty whatsoever. Zhuyin makes for great Ruby characters because it can be written in-line smaller and more legibly than Pinyin, making it easier to focus on the Chinese characters, especially for non-native leaners whose native languages are based on the Latin alphabet.

Geiko Posted July 29, 2016 at 09:36 AM Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 at 09:36 AM Great post, ParkeNYU, thank you. Book 6: http://ws.moe.edu.tw...publication.pdf The link for book 6 is wrong, it corresponds to books 1&2. The correct link is this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkeNYU Posted July 29, 2016 at 10:37 AM Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 at 10:37 AM @Geiko Thank you for catching that, I have updated the link. @889 With only 37 symbols, Bopomofo (Zhùyīn) is fairly easy to learn (mastery within the span of a week). As etm001 mentioned, there are many benefits to using this system, and that list wasn't even exhaustive. Here are some learning tools that I've created to ease your learning process: Soundboard: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15757362/ZHUYIN_SOUND_BOARD.swf Spelling: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15757362/ZHUYIN.pdf Overall, I think, given some time and practice, you'll find that it proves to be a very logical and intuitive system.

ParkeNYU Posted July 29, 2016 at 11:26 PM Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 at 11:26 PM The series 'Speak Mandarin in 500/1000 Words' offers simplified ruby characters above the traditional forms, along with Hanyu Pinyin beneath the Zhuyin-annotated characters. Those are free to download from the ROCMOE as well. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/15757362/SM1500W.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
