應怎樣「學中文」？

「見字知碼」學習指南

A. General

Simplified Chinese is NOT another kind of Chinese,
it is merely a supplement of TRADITIONAL characters,
substituting some high-frequency-used * characters
for daily hand-writting convenience.

Nowadays, used as the "official written language" in China mainland only.

* only about 300 characters, see the website below.

In a general essay, 70% plus of the character is TRADITIONAL,
only about 30% is simplified.

All you need to do is to get familiar with
these 300 simplified characters.

Simplified vs. Traditional CHINESE

Pronunciation vs. CHARACTER

1. One pronunciation has multiple characters
2. One character has multiple Pronunciations

THESE ARE THE NATURE OF CHINESE WRITTEN LANGUAGE.

They are the NIGHTMAREs of
PinYin method in Chinese computing!
Another NIGHTMARE is 50+ different "dialects"
spoken in 50+ different provinces!

It is definitely impossible to turn
13-billion people into SKILLFUL "linguists"
even in several hundred years.

F. A 10-keypad Digital Method

GeoStroke ABC

See, how easy is this!
Simple or complex, you know immediately the character's
input code when see a character.
No any "finger skill" required on a keyboard!
That means in less than 10 minutes' practice
you can write an Email in Chinese on a PC.

G. Database & Search

GBK

1. High-frequency-used characters are sorted
according to "pronunciation".

2. Low-frequency-used characters are sorted
according to "radical".

GBK is not practical!
It can not solve "Chinese SEARCHING problems".

Users do not have "means" to know
the "exact position" of a character
in PinYin or Radical sequence.
How can you tell:
1. which character comes first?
2. which character comes second?
3. .....

GeoStroke Codes are used as INPUT CODEs,
you can also adopt the following "index" method
to do SEARCHING effectively.
