Strokes bend, curve or cross over in Chinese characters, building complex characters that create a language that is often considered one of the most difficult languages to learn. This is where London-based venture capital investor ShaoLan Hsueh<\/a> comes in, linearising the learning curves with Chineasy<\/a> – a brand new design and educational project to learn Chinese. Along with illustrator Noma Bar<\/a>, ShaoLan visually reveals the most common and useful building blocks, which identifies the correlations and allows students to build many new words, characters, and phrases.<\/p>\n

The one month Kickstarter campaign<\/a> runs now till 24th August 2013 and is to crowd fund over \u00a375,000 for continuing development of the Chineasy characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
