一步一个脚印

Inspired after my recent post Top 500 Chinese Characters (and How to Write Them), I thought I’d create a dictation practice mp3 for those out there who want more practice writing and recalling Chinese characters.

Chinese Dictation Practice #1
Chinese Dictation Practice #1 (Answers)

Exercise: Listen to the recording, and write out the Chinese words as you hear them. Don’t worry – the words I’ve chosen are all very common ones. In the second recording, I give a run down of how each character is written in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey! Don’t look at the answers below until after you’ve finished the dictation practice!
