Character animation

This character animation feature is part of Hans Vision Chinese learning software. It actually comes with audio telling you the name of each stroke written and the pronunciation of the character. Unfortunately, the exported stroke animations shown here have no audio. Those of you who have bought the softeware Hans Vision from our school, look for this character animation feature under Hans Tools - Strokes.

Look in the school's bookshop for more information about Hans Vision software.

Attention!

The first left vertical stroke of the characer 口 is written too long in the stroke order animations. See this example: 吗. Make sure you write it properly, it should be written more like a square.
