Calligraphy aids language learning

Writing Chinese Characters helps in Learning

There are at least three different styles of learning:

• Auditory
• Visual
• Kinesthetic

The problem is in most schools, only the auditory with a little bit of visual is used. Think of the traditional lecture, where the Teacher lectures the class. The latest is where Power Point is used for teaching, where the kids can be vessels that are theoretically filled with knowledge. By writing Chinese Characters, the third type of learning is used, Kinesthetic.

Just writing Chinese Characters is only part of a well rounded program for Learning Chinese.
