CD-Interactive

Basic Hanja 1000 teaches Korean children the first 1,000 Chinese characters by:

  • showing the evolution of pictograms from what they represent to their modern appearance,
  • demonstrating proper brushstroke technique for each character,
  • testing users’ growing mastery with games, and
  • enhancing comprehension by using the characters in context in animated traditional Chinese sayings and Chinese zodiac illustrations.
   

This animation from the reading-in-context section is for the saying “one stone, two birds,” which is similar to the English saying, “kill two birds with one stone.”

To see this animation, you'll need the latest Shockwave Plug-in from Macromedia.
