When should you start learning Chinese characters?

Answer 1

When you start to learn Chinese, I suggest to learn the Characters at first, not just learn the pinyin. Learning Chinese characters includes four parts, listening, speaking, reading and writing, involving various content of single character, word, sentence and article. As a beginner, learning Chinese characters is the foundation. I recommend MagiChinese, an app can help beginners to master the basic Chinese characters quickly, while providing the subsequent learning content of words and sentences.

Answer 2

You can start learning Chinese characters once you have a basic understanding of Mandarin pronunciation and conversation skills. It's helpful to have a foundation in the language before delving into characters as they can be more challenging to learn. Many language learners begin studying characters after a few months of language study.
