很多老外都认为汉语是世界上最难学习的语言，一个个方块字在他们眼里就是一幅幅复杂的图案。但是薛晓岚相信汉语并没有大多数人所想的那么难学，她用巧妙有趣的插图生动展示汉字的意思，并开发识字卡游戏教汉语学习者遣词造句。她说：“认识一两个字就能衍生出三四个字，掌握几十个就能知道几百个，掌握50到70个字就能认识上千个字。” By Chris Davis Chineasy founder ShaoLan Hsueh is on a mission to break down the language barrier surrounding Chinese any way she can. Chineasy的创始人薛晓岚一直在尽其所能打破学习汉语的障碍。 She started with the book Chineasy: The New Way to Read Chinese, released in the US in 2017, which basically teaches the meaning of about 400 essential characters by encasing them in clever and often amusing illustrations (created by a team of artists at her headquarters in London). 她着手编写的汉语教材《Chineasy：The New Way to Read Chinese》2017年在美国出版。书中用巧妙有趣的插图展示了约400个基础汉字的意思（由她在伦敦的设计师团队创造）。 From there she dissects each one and reassembles it, demonstrating how the Chinese language is put together. Hao, the word for good, for instance, is a combination of the character for woman and boy, suggesting motherhood is a good thing. The term for eating is an open space representing a mouth and next to it the squiggle for begging. |
