“Prestudy”: Learning Chinese Through Reading
I'm unsure how this works, because this technique wont teach you what the English equiv is when 2 (or more) words are next to each other are.<p>For example, COW + MEAT = BEEF.<p>牛肉<p>牛 = Cow<p>肉 = Meat<p>This is a very simple example but there are more complicated words such as Divorce.<p>In Chinese this is 離婚 which is 離 (from or without) and 婚 (marriage) but it's hard to learn that this is actually Divorce in English.<p>Edit: Wife is Taiwanese and I'm trying to learn Chinese.
