Chinese Characters Alive!- -Plant-- is an app for learning nine Chinese characters organized around the plant kingdom.

Rice -- 米, Bamboo -- 竹, Melon -- 瓜, Grass Radical -- 艹, Flower -- 花, Grass -- 草, Wood --木, Wood radical --木, Forest -- 林.

Each lesson includes a video about the evolution of the character, a morph displaying the changes of the character through time, and an animation showing how to write the character stroke-by-stroke adjacent to a practice area. Our multimedia and cognitive approaches help students learn through logic, reasoning, and intuition.

The creators of this software also produced the award-winning Chinese Characters Alive! The same lessons are also available on CD-ROM for Windows XP/Vista/7, and you may obtain more information at:
