Become a master at learning Chinese characters!

with Outlier Linguistics


In this three-month course you'll not only learn 300 characters, you'll also learn how Chinese characters actually work and how to learn them more effectively!
 

Revealing the logic of the Chinese writing system

Chinese characters are composed of functional components—components which express sound and meaning

We'll teach you how these components work and how to use them to recall characters more effectively

You'll also learn how to use this knowledge to learn new characters more efficiently in the future
