Omg, you saved me! I hadn't found a useful tutorial about Chinese characters till I found yours. It has given me the path I have to follow in order to write Chinese characters, thank you!!
I'm learning Chinese myself and writing out the characters helps me learn them all the better- but I've been frustrated with how my handwriting has looked! This has helped so much in giving me a starting block to improve my handwriting, thank you!
Thank you so much! I watch many Chinese films and I have adjusted my hearing to their language and now, I want to start working on the writing as I will be able to put together the sound and the visual character! so much fun!!!!
I really liked how you broke it down. I am using duolingo and youtube to learn but was having a hard time writing down the characters for notes. I want to be able to read the Han zi the same way I read and write in English. I think learning the written language helps alot with learning because in order to learn you have to practice writing it down and reading it repeatedly to study(same way I learned English and Spanish). This video was so helpful. Thank you.
Thank you So much Miss❤ I've always wanted to learn writting hanzi and this video is my first step to do. I cannot tell how grateful I am😭. Please make more tutorials miss, im really looking forward to it.😊✨
Im gujuu . From India. Living in sg so i really need to learn Chinese to communicate. Earlier i was using busu nd Duolingo but didn't helped 😅 but now after watching your video im able to 😊 understand ( even your style totally amazing. I loved it 🎉)
Wonderful explanation! Thank you so much! Life is usually "different strokes for different folks," but that doesn't worth with Chinese calligraphy (or doesn't work well, at least until you learn the basics. You've given the best explanation I've seen!
❤❤ well explained and simplified video. the part where she said “letting go” has literally killed me😂😂😂😂 .I'd love to hold onto my pen tightly whenever I write and my 教师 would ask me do more practice of writing characters everyday. Thanks alot.
太感谢了!! I was looking for a video where I can learn how to write in Chinese. I agree with you, that is what I am looking for not just to speak it and understand it, I believe in the importance to understand it when I am reading and writing it. 太感谢了 again!
@@pearlykitty108 of course. I can write but not w/ brush and my handwriting is no good. When i was little my mom would keep erasing them coz they’re too ugly until the pages of my practice books got holes in them.🤣🤣🥲
Thank you for this. My 5 year old child and I are both studying Mandarin and I am having trouble in writing the strokes. So thank you for showing it and also for explaining. I am so grateful. More power to you and your channel. I’m a new subscriber.😃
@@ape_kop7311 in terms of learning the characters and strokes (names: hèng shu, etc.), my child picks it up faster than me but in writing the strokes my child finds a little bit challenging so we’re working on that. I’m not sure if being left handed adds as an extra challenge as well.
老师好。Your lesson is an excellent one, thanks so much for sharing it. 点 丶， 横 一，竖 shu 撇 丿,,, very useful tips and I like when you said " Let it go!!!" It's very motivational and so cheerful. 感谢您，老师。
Nice job it was great. could you please make a series on all of 32 strokes, writing them with pen or pencil I'm just starring to learn the written Chinese and I think there are more people in the same situation out there. but the thing is that there are not suitable video educational material like yours on the UA-cam especially on Chinese writing.
Thank you for doing this video. I've been doing Chinese calligraphy for years as a art form and stress reliever. I've probably got some bad habits with my calligraphy and that is why I'm watching your video.
Excellent teaching, so clear and easy to follow. There's a lot of work to master these strokes but your teaching will surely help. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this! I've been learning Chinese for a few months now, but I needed to learn how to probably write the strokes , instead of doing my own 😅😂.
This is awsome!!!! I am currently learning Japanese and Korean. (Yuuup kpop and anime got me at the start of the year 😅). But my greatest reason is Calligraphy. Ive seen calligraphers write Chinese, Korean, & Japanese in their "cursive" writing and wowwwwwww I looove it. I am doing my own cursive style from the words and kanji that I know. It looks awesome.
That's a really good question 👍 by HSK 4, you'll learn 1064 characters which enable you to read simple novels and write letters. It depends on how much time and effort you'd like to put in everyday, it takes 1.5-2 years typically.
I've been trying to learn Chinese ,,not for communication like just speaking ,,,I want to write and read ,,,but do not know where to start,,, it's very confusing 😕😕 I'm dying in anxiety 😩
Hi how are you. I'm looking all over UA-cam of how to write out Chinese characters with the samsung keyboard. Its the numbers 1 - 9 and 0 on the bottom like the pinpad. So far i was able to figure a few simple ones like 人 and 月 person and month. 1 is left to right, 2 is top to bottom, etc. But i cant figure them all out, like the symbol for mountain (3 vertical lines, 1 horizontal on the bottom) do you know what numbers i would use for the correct strokes?
Thanks I've been trying for years to relearn how to write characters but I can't get past not teaching us the right way to draw each one. I have books but I needed to relearn step by step how to draw them individually because mine always look wrong now. 😩 When I took Chinese in college it was easier to draw them when writing them the right way.
fu xian teachers taught me in my elementary days and I was looking for that tiny characters they write besides the big characters to help how to pronounce it. what was it called?
Hi Audrey - the character tracing downloads are not working. I can open up the Janus Academy page, but no download actually happens. Could you please check? Many thanks. Excellent tutorials, btw. 🙂
Hi, there. I liked it some much your video about Chinese characters. Comment. When I was watching your video how to write Hanzi I thought: "That writing method is the correct one for right handy person." But, it is difficult for left handy person. BTY, I am left handy. My best.
Thanks for watching! Sorry I wish I could write with my left hand 😅 btw, in China, parents or teachers usually make left-handers to write with right hand too
@@JanusAcademy Thanks for sharing. I think that I have to use my right hand to write Hanzi. Because, it is very complicate to do it iwith the left hand. My best.
Omg, you saved me! I hadn't found a useful tutorial about Chinese characters till I found yours. It has given me the path I have to follow in order to write Chinese characters, thank you!!
Your teaching style is so good. Clear, easy to understand. I started out afraid of writing Hanzi, and by the end I was having fun. Thank you!!
Thank you for watching too!

Fluent in Chinese yet?
Janus, how to enroll?
Same here. Not knowing the steps makes mine look horrible and I don't like wasting paper lol
Thank you so much! I watch many Chinese films and I have adjusted my hearing to their language and now, I want to start working on the writing as I will be able to put together the sound and the visual character! so much fun!!!!
Your an incredible teacher.

Thank you ☺️
It's the stroke and the radicals and the words that contain radicals and other describtive mark thank you.
Interesting, finally found someone explaining the very basics
Nice job it was great.

Totally agree with you that majority of other videos focus on teaching speaking only. I have plans to make more Hanzi writing videos in 2021!
I got a Buddha board, it helps a lot as you write with water as many times in the board and then erase it itself! I can practice a lot with it!
@@sylvi73 It's wonderful.
But I still enjoy writting with the old school woodcase pencil on a paper. It's so meaningful to me.
@@JanusAcademy I can't wait to write and knows what I'm writing 😂📝
Join me, i can teach you mandarin 😉

How many characters Needed for advanced Chinese and how long time required ?
That's a really good question 👍 by HSK 4, you'll learn 1064 characters which enable you to read simple novels and write letters. It depends on how much time and effort you'd like to put in everyday, it takes 1.5-2 years typically.

Thank you so much for the basics 太谢谢了 ❤️
不客气！💕
very informative
Thanks so much , very well done
Thank You.
Thank you dear❤❤
Excellent
Can the line héng be written as a perfect straight line with no slight curves?
Yes you can, but if you'd like to have calligraphy feel for your characters, slight curves are the best 😊
I still don't understand how to really understand it, without memorizing it, so please create a video on that as well!
Actually, now I'm getting the hang of it!
