Skritter - learn Chinese online

Optimists learn English, the pessimists - Chinese realists - the Kalashnikov assault rifle.

It seems that the Chinese, having filled the whole world with their products, this is clearly not going to stop and quick steps transform their country into the most powerful and well-developed part of the world. Get it from them or not only time will tell, but learn some Chinese language is not manifestly unnecessary.

The main difficulty in the study of the Chinese language is that its structure is fundamentally different from our usual experience. Why are only the well-known Chinese characters, the total number of which exceeds 80 000!

However, we will not be disappointed - the knowledge of the 500 most commonly used characters enough to understand 80% of the normal Chinese text. And help us in their study online service Skritter.
