Kanji Writing Exercises

[mkengel]

Hello.

I have put free writing exercises of the 学習漢字、常用漢字 and for very tough ones the kanji of JIS X 0208-1990 onto my homepage.

http://lernmaterialien.mkengel.de

Please feel free to use them and forward the files (or the link) to your interested friends.

Sorry, the introduction is in German but there is a kind of license in English - please read it.

Be careful with the last file, it is about 5.5MB and has 1470 pages.

I wish you good luck with your exercises.

Cheers

Michael

Wie geht's, Michael? How are you?

Thanks for the links.

You should have mentioned that there are links Chinese characters (汉字 / 漢字 (Hànzì)) as well (on a Chinese language forum!). Do you have Chinese - English transalations? I am comfortable using German but other users might not be. "Kanji" (漢字 / かんじ) (you probably know) is used in English when talking about the Japanese characters.

Hello.

>>You should have mentioned that there are links Chinese characters (汉字 / 漢字 (Hànzì)) as well (on a Chinese language forum!).

On my page there is only very few material for Chinese language learning but I link to HanDeDict which I introduced here:

http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/10-is-chinese-grammar-easy-dont-you-just-love-chinese-words118

and here

http://www.chinese-forums.com/links/showlink.php?do=showdetails&l=167

But we are here in the "Other cultures and language" section, so here only the Kanji announcement.

>>Do you have Chinese - English transalations? I am comfortable using German but other users might not be.

No, we are only preparing materials for German-speaking people.

>>"Kanji" (漢字 / かんじ) (you probably know) is used in English when talking about the Japanese characters.

After 13 years living in Japan, I think I know. Did I make somewhere a writing mistake ? Please tell me where. Thank you.

No, sorry, Michael, I didn't mean to upset you. That's why I said "you probably know".

[mkengel]

No problem.

A little bit off-topic now, but to answer one of your comments.

We take our German translations for the vocabulary cards directly from HanDeDict. But unfortunately we have a different vocabulary base compared to CEDICT and we do not store the English equivalent, so it is not possible to make Chinese-English translations.

We always recommend to printout our German cards without the German translations. On the blanc backside you can write your own translations (English, French, Russian, etc)

Thanks, Michael, your site will be useful for all Chinese and Japanese learners, whatever their first language is. There are similar sites in English to yours, though.
