My six year old daughter is learning Chinese as 2nd language so I decided to write an iPhone app called Hanscript that teaches kids how to write Chinese characters. At first, she was only interested in coloring the letters and not so much into writing the characters. I then decided to add some game elements into the app where she needs to practice writing characters in order to gain points. The more points she earned, the more mystery characters got unlocked. Now she is practicing Chinese every day and being really proud of her achievements! Thank you for this useful website. I'm very impressed with the 3000 HSK animation that you created! Regards, Jung Hi Jason,

Is there any suggestions about this situation since they are adults? Where should I start? From the history of China, Chinese culture, or else? What will be good for next stage? Strokes? Since strokes are the simplest. Thank you Hi Jason,

It's a pity you are too far away. I think it's possible you can find some help from your nearby chinese community (if there is any). Wish you good luck and have fun!

If I tried she would be more involved, and not so overwhelmed with the task. I HAVE A problem with my foot and my back so I have to do it at home. Our economy is not so great, let`s put it this way, so if you could help us in any way, I would appreciate it very much. By the way, I am a Ph.D from The University of chicago a long, long time ago, but I am Spanish and I live in Barcelona.
