Character Amnesia and the Death of Chinese Characters

Character amnesia is a common phenomenon in China and everywhere Chinese characters are used. Easy Chinese characters are no cause for alarm. But many slightly more complex characters are the boogey-man of Chinese writing. This is because of character amnesia, what the Chinese call 提笔忘字, the inability to remember how to write those difficult characters. What solution will the Chinese come up with beyond the mere reform of writing by way of character simplification, which equals placing the hot potato from one hand into the other.?

The longest /i/ sound in the world is in Romanian. "i" is impossible to pronounce!!!

This video explains why Romanian is the only language in the world to write three "i"s in a row, one after the other. We look at the forms: copil, copii, copiii. Then I go one to explain that the letter 'i' is pronounced as a very discreet /i/ sound at the end of plural nouns, where the vowel "i" is a plural marker, or in the conjugation of verbs in the singular form of the second person So in this video we learn a tiny little bit about Romanian grammar, Romanian pronunciation, Romanian sounds, Romanian plural markers and Romanian verb conjugation

The Maze of Chinese Writing - The Case of 能

This video is meant to showcase at the end of the character 能 and its derivatives the complexity of Chinese writing and writing reform. The video talks about the failure of the Chinese writing reform of 1956. Simplified character is a misnomer fed to unsuspecting learners of Chinese writing around the world when in fact traditional characters seems to have a better and more logical inner structure. See the example of the five traditional characters 能 熊 態 罷 擺 that were "simplified" to 能 熊 态 罢 摆, which are not simple and make no rhyme nor reason. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/LxVm9-egz5U

戈 gēAncient Chinese weapons and Chinese pictographic characters (295)

The dagger-axe, 戈gē, appears as a radical component in numerous Chinese characters related to weaponry. This film shows how the ancient Shang people recorded their weapons in writing. Please support by liking and sharing the video. Your feedback comments are most welcome. When you start learning Chinese writing you should begin with very basic characters. Never learn these characters in isolation. If possible, learn an expression which includes that character. You should also try to see whether the simple character is used as a radical component in complex characters with related meaning (just like in today's example). Maybe the simple character is used as a phonetic component. Watch until the end to understand my point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwdAv2SZvFs&t=93s
