Description
The final CD-ROM in a Chinese multimedia language resource series, Shizi introduces Chinese characters to beginner and intermediate students of modern Chinese standard language (Mandarin).
Shizi teaches over 1,300 characters, including the most common 1,000 characters used in China today, with animated demonstrations of stroke order, instruction of phrase formation, and pronunciation. This comprehensive learning resource provides instruction and in-depth etymological explanations of an unmatched number of Chinese characters.
Building on the success of the two previous CD-ROMs in the Chinese multimedia language resource series - Fayin and Tingli - Shizi is an essential resource for anyone wanting to take their Chinese language skills to the next level.
Note: This series is compatible with a 32-bit operating system and will not run on 64-bit system.
