Let's learn and remember the Chinese character 你!

Have a look at the page below. Don't worry, you don't need to remember anything yet, we'll handle each component needed to remember 你 separately. You can use the lesson navigation menu at the top to get to the next lesson or to navigate back to the current lesson from any page, so feel free to explore.

The easiest and fastest way to remember Chinese characters is to learn their components, in this case: and . We'll handle those in a few minutes, after having a brief look on the pronunciation "ni3" first. Click on "Next Lesson: ni3" in the lesson navigation at the top (or bottom) of the page once you're ready.
