]]> Comment on Why should I learn Chinese characters, can’t I just learn pinyin? by Navid http://blog.memrise.com/2011/01/why-should-i-learn-chinese-characters.html#comment-75 Navid Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:33:00 +0000 http://blog.memrise.com/?p=35#comment-75 Thanks for the tips, I totally agree with you. I have studying Chinese for six months now in China, and now I can see why I am starting to confuse, I think as you mentioned I should improve my Characters as well, as I have studied mostly in Pinyin till now. But it is very hard to imagine Characters in mind and pronounce them something els, really hard（ 太困难了）。.  But there is no place to give up, this is part if the beauty of this Language.

I'd just like to add that the verbal mnemonics are not limited to references to one's native language but can also connect to the knowledge a learner has of the rest of the target language. The sets in 'SAT' and 'English for English speakers', for instance, are not used exclusively by native English speakers, yet the verbal mnemonics in those sets are predominantly English.
