    1. The basic stroke “撇piě”
    2. Six Chinese characters “千 牛 午 生 厂 开” & their origins, stroke order and related vocabularies
    3. Two sets of Chinese characters that look alike: 午 & 牛, 工 & 土
    👉The features of "Chinese Character Course (Level 1)":
    1. 15 video lectures that thoroughly explain 28 Chinese character strokes, 100 commonly used Chinese characters, approx. 300 related words, phrases, sentences and the basic knowledge of Chinese characters
    2. 413 online and printable flashcards of all the strokes, characters and related examples
    3. 15 online and downloadable audio of all the characters and related examples
    4. 190 online self-assessment questions
    👉The course is for:
    1. This course is for students who want to learn Chinese characters from the very beginning. We start with the absolute basics.
    2. It’s also suitable for those who have learned some Chinese characters but are still unfamiliar with the whole Chinese character system. This course will help you establish a clear cognitive construct for Chinese characters, which will make your further study much easier and more efficient.
    3. If you are interested in the origin of each Chinese character, then this course is perfect for you. For most of the Chinese characters in this course, we will explain thoroughly and vividly how they were created, in the process you will learn the real stories behind the characters and some interesting knowledge about Chinese history and culture.
    4. Those who want to improve their Chinese proficiency while learning Chinese characters should take this course. We always explain and practice the characters in the words, phrases, sentences or even grammar, so it’s not only a Chinese character course, but also a comprehensive Chinese course.
    5. This course is perfect for people who plan to learn Chinese characters all by themselves or with limited time.
    6. It will also be a good complement for people who already attend a Chinese class.
    7. This course focuses on simplified Chinese characters.
    👉How it works:
    Step 1: Watch a video lecture with detailed and clear explanations of each new stroke, character and related words, phrases and sentences.
    Step 2: Use the online or printable flashcards and the audio recording to review what you have learned.
    Step 3: Take the online quiz to check whether you really master all the characters and related knowledge of each lesson.
    👉You're going to get from this course:
    After working through this course, you will be able to read and write 28 Chinese character strokes and 100 commonly used Chinese characters, and recognize approx. 300 related vocabularies and sentences. More importantly, with our clear and systematic instructions you will master the correct way to learn Chinese characters and lay a solid foundation for your future learning.

    People who are asking for free courses - please note that most of the Litao videos are available at no cost on here. It is just the full course (with assessements and tutor support etc) that costs. I have been using his videos to develop a basic understanding and it hasn't cost me a penny. I really really doubt you'd get as good content as the free version elsewhere online. Use what is available correctly (e.g. person who wanted him to teach you common words - it's all on some of the other videos).
    Thank you, Litao. This is excellent stuff.

    What's up with so many people asking him to do free courses? Have you considered that this might be his livelihood? You don't go into a shoe store and ask for free shoes just because you want a new kick-ass pair. It is clear from watching this content that he puts an enormous amount of time and effort into making/producing these videos. It is by far better than the vast majority of A/V content I've seen on the web and he should be allowed to charge for it. If you don't want to pay that much (myself included) then move along and find something cheaper (or free) that will probably be less professional, less detailed, less interesting and harder to follow.

      The history of characters is more than just "ancient -> traditional -> simplified", that would just cover a small part of history. What if I want to know how it transitioned to square handwriting? Or how it's written in cursive? Or how to read it in Seal Script? There are a million details about each character.
