New Members Magaknuto Posted January 5, 2020 at 04:18 PM New Members Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 at 04:18 PM I've been studying Chinese for almost 3 months now. I know around 250 characters and some words that accompany them. Recently I stumbled upon some Chinese Characters Copy Books that caught my attention. I wonder can they help me improve the look of my writing (as that's the only thing I think can be improved regarding my current know characters). I would prefer this store: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Chinese%20Regular%20%20Script/4647155_514477970.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148362.8.26ad1185faEn4t&origin=n&isFreeShip=y&SortType=price_desc&g=y because it offers free shipping to my country but few other books that I have found are: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32885365086.html at 22$ with shipping and https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000366457361.html at 16$ with shipping. Any thoughts and recommendations would be helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted January 5, 2020 at 07:36 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 at 07:36 PM As long as you're ordering the copy books, order a big stack or two of thin paper with large lined blocks for actually copying the characters. You'll go through a lot of paper. Note that free overseas shipping on Aliexpress can be slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Magaknuto Posted January 5, 2020 at 08:58 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 at 08:58 PM Thanks for the suggestion! All products that i have found so far come with a so called "Magic Pen". They say that inc will disappear after 5-10 which would leave sheets clears. This will work with standard sheets and with 3D sheets witch are not replaceable. People in reviews says it works. Should I go with it or stick to a traditional method?

889 Posted January 6, 2020 at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 at 11:27 AM No reason not to try it, but at some point you want to get used to regular paper and pen. As I said, since Aliexpress can be slow -- they often ship through Singapore -- you may as well find a good stationery store and order everything you're going to need at once. The paper is not expensive, but hard to find ouside China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
