What’s on this worksheet
| Text (Traditional / Simplified) | Pinyin | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 這是什麼？ / 这是什么？ | Zhè shì shénme? | What is this? |
| 你在找什麼？ / 你在找什么？ | Nǐ zài zhǎo shénme? | What are you looking for? |
| 現在幾點？ / 现在几点？ | Xiànzài jǐ diǎn? | What time is it now? |
| 這個多少錢？ / 这个多少钱？ | Zhège duōshao qián? | How much is this? |
Pinyin follows the Hanyu Pinyin standard used in mainland China. In Taiwan, some syllables marked here with a neutral tone are often read with their full tone.
How to use it
- Print the sheet in the character set you are learning.
- Say the line out loud, then trace the grey line slowly.
- Write it on your own in the empty boxes, keeping each character inside its square. The dashed lines help you place each part.
- Check your writing against the grey line, and try again tomorrow. Short, regular practice works better than one long session.
The worksheets don’t show stroke order. That is easier to learn by watching each stroke being drawn. In the Hanzibloc app you write every character stroke by stroke on your phone, and the app checks each stroke as you go.
