What’s on this worksheet

Text (Traditional / Simplified)PinyinMeaning

How to use it

  1. Print the sheet in the character set you are learning.
  2. Say the line out loud, then trace the grey line slowly.
  3. Write it on your own in the empty boxes, keeping each character inside its square. The dashed lines help you place each part.
  4. 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.
