Guest Chinese tutor Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Another great free resource to learn Chinese character is Arch Chinese (http://www.ArchChinese.com). It has the stroke order animations for all the simplified Chinese characters. You can even generate handwriting worksheets to practice writing Chinese characters on paper.

5knights3maidens Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The dragon puppet page does not work. I've had a printout of this for years. I've tried to go back to this page and cannot find it. I've gone on this library's website and they seem to have deleted some of their crafts.

Kanlon Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I recommend it to everyone learning Chinese! I found this Chinese language school on a Google search cause I live in Australian and I need to learn Chinese online. I was very impressed by the teaching method and the virtual classroom, and of course, the experienced and professional teachers! I started with Hanbridge Mandarin half a year ago, which turned out to be perfect, now I'm able to chat with my Chinese friends easily.
