WordPacks

I found myself grouping words together into easy-to-remember packs, which I've now formally turned into WordPacks (http://mandarinsegments.blogspot.com/2009/06/wordpacks-introduction.html). The most recent WordPack I wrote about can be found here (http://mandarinsegments.blogspot.com/2009/12/daily-dragons.html).

Demo of how to write Chinese Character

Hi, I am a Chinese. When I worked in Guangzhou city before 8 years ago. I met some American friends. They want to learn Chinese. But they feel the Chinese characters is hard to write. Then I thought if I can design a software to help them. 2000, I came to Shanghai city and use free time to do this. Now I have completed some Characters' demo write. You can message to me if it is useful to you. The Web Address is: http://jbjy.sgrj.net/gjb/Write%20Chracter.htm Thanks.
