Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Calligraphy Simplified!

On the pages of this website, you will find resources to help you start learning Chinese.

The vast majority of these resources will focus on learning how to write Chinese, specifically simplified Chinese. For information about the difference between simplified and traditional Chinese, please visit the FAQ page.

You will notice that on many of the pages, there is a built-in canvas. This is so you can practice tracing the characters without even having to leave the website. You can use your mouse, a stylus, or even your finger to trace the characters shown on the page. Once you are done, simply press the space or the backspace key to erase your drawing. For more detailed instructions, click the help button in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Good luck, and happy learning!
