Description: This application introduces Chinese characters to non-native speakers or young kids in a fun and intuitive way: to understand their origins as pictures of the objects they represent.

For example, the Chinese character for sun was originally a circle with a dot in its center. It has evolved over the history, but you can still find traces of its original shape.

Besides explaining the picture meanings, this application also demonstrates the correct way of writing the characters and even let you practice on your iPhone side by side with the demonstration. You'll find that you will be able to read and write dozens of Chinese characters in no time!

Announcement

A full version of this product has just been released in September. That version is still growing, and that's why it's currently put on a discounted price. Obviously I won't be able to cover all the thousands of common Chinese characters even when that version is complete, but I'll try to present the key characters, especially those used in constructing other ones, as many as possible.
