SiciChinese lessons focus on the Chinese words themselves. We look at their meanings, and the words that look or sound similar to each other. We will show you tips on how to remember them and examples of how they are used.

SiciChinese lessons do not teach you grammar, pronounciation, conversation, reading or writing. There are many books and other free resources about Chinese grammar online that you can consult. Pronounciation is a key part of learning Chinese but that is best learnt with a teacher one on one. Conversation Chinese is also something that should be learnt with a teacher one on one. There are also many other sites that will teach you how to read and write Chinese with the proper strokes order. SiciChinese lessons do not replace other language learning approaches such as reading books, listening to the news, take classes with a teacher etc.

SiciChinese lessons can be learnt individually. Just pick the words you want to learn.

There is no particular order that needs to be followed. SiciChinese lessons simply focus on Chinese words, and so the more lessons you learn, the more words you remember.

Words that look complicated may actually be easily learnt. So, simply pick a word you like or would like to remember and keep building up your vocabulary.

SiciChinese lessons may look simple and that is actually the secret. We have boiled learning Chinese down to the most simple approach so that you can learn easily, and to remember what you learnt.
