“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.For example, COW + MEAT = BEEF.牛肉牛 = Cow肉 = MeatThis is a very simple example but there are more complicated words such as Divorce.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.Edit: Wife is Taiwanese and I'm trying to learn Chinese.
