To the folks trying to practice kanji with this: Japanese kanji and Chinese hanzi often have different stroke orders. This can affect the final look of the character, so it’s best to look at practice sources from your specific language, not a related one.

@containternet9290 Год назад

Yeah, but since the characters have its origins in China, the Chinese fashion is the standart.

@darcash1738 Год назад

Oh shoot I have to know the order? I’ve just been visualizing and drawing out the character on whatever felt best. What are good sources for the order, and how much does it matter?

@Tenterasu 11 месяцев назад

@@darcash1738 There's a link in the description on stroke order, and I would say it doesn't matter too much if you just want the bare minimum of writing legible words, but it will 100% make the characters look better and make writing easier.

@Nemo_Anom 2 года назад

For me, at least, I can never get my characters looking right with a pencil or pen. When I use a brush pen, such as the tombow brand, they start to look okay. But my handwriting sucks generally, in any language. Weirdly, my very cursive handwriting tends to look okay, even though it's somewhat unorthodox. I also wanted to to say that I've found a local-ish Chinese class so that I can resume my formal study! I'm not sure it's the right level, but I will soon find out later this week! Also, do you know why Mandarin speakers slip extra u's into their speech? Is it dialectal? I do know it's annoying. For example: instead of xiong, xing, or even qin, they will go xiung, xiung, and qiung.

@nicoleraheem1195 2 года назад

And that Ng sounds like it vibrates in the throat

@dazc9965 2 года назад

The -ung is dialect, yes. In some places in China, the -in and -ing sound is more noticeably differentiated by the extra "u" in -ing words. In other places the -in and -ing sounds are so close a lot of non-native speakers aren't able to hear any difference at all. I can't say I've heard qin -> qiung before though in the places that do have the more front-based velar nasal, it's typically more a "qyin" sound. How is it annoying, if i'm bold enough to be curious?

@Nemo_Anom 2 года назад

@@dazc9965 it's annoying because I can't tell if they're saying xing or xiong etc. They both become xiung.

@dazc9965 2 года назад

@@Nemo_Anom Think of it as the difference between "lung" and "bone" maybe? (not that accurate obviously but in the vein) I've never thought about it before but yeah it probably is tricky for non-native speakers haha

@@ABChinese Ok thanks! But what would you say the translation of 'Glorious' would be then?

@ABChinese 2 года назад

@@ademian2828 I would caution you against thinking of them as perfect translations, but 荣耀 is closer to the English "glory". 辉煌 refers more to the expression of glory than the title of glorious. For example, in my limited experience, 辉煌 is very commonly used in 灯火辉煌, often used to describe the splendor of a city, especially at night. 荣耀 is more often used as the title, like in the Chinese game 王者荣耀 = Honor of Kings.

请问，what type of ball pen do you use in the video? I've been trying to find a good ballpoint pen for writing hanzi but cannot seem to find one that makes it easy to make strokes with different width. Like some strokes are supposed to start out wide and end narrow so you have to push the pet down more at the beginning compared to the end of the stroke... Anyhow, thx for the video, I've really had issues with the proportions of my hanzi so I will try to divide the square/hanzi into parts like you suggested and see how it goes :D Have an awesome day :)

@ABChinese 2 года назад

You can’t use ball point pens if you want stroke variance, you have to use gel pens. The one in the video is Bic Gelocity. Most brands will work though. Another pen I like is the Pilot Precise V5, even though that pen is a rollerball pen. Hope that helps!

The solution is to constantly correct your writing after realizing the problem, which is a very long process. Many Chinese people still struggle with their 12 year school life.
