Talk:Chineasy

Chinese character compositionality
This article contains a whole lot of info under the section "The Method". E.g.:

"ShaoLan Hsueh created Chineasy using 'Building block’ [3] Method to allow learners to accumulate their vocabulary quickly. To develop this method, she started by breaking down thousands of Chinese Characters on her computer. She then analysed them and prioritised most basic elements. [8]"

Chinese character compositionality is not a novelty, it has been understood for ages and is taught as such by standard! It shouldn't be noted here as "The Method". This makes it overtly promotional. Also: the information about "breaking down thousands of Chinese Characters on her computer" is both vague as well as a self-reference, as this has been taken from a direct quote from the author of this commercially branded "Chineasy".

Similar objections can be made with regards to the pictographic etymology. This is not a novelty in studying Chinese at all. (Verheyen Vincent (talk) 23:57, 27 November 2016 (UTC))


 * True. Remember Remembering the Kanji by James Heisig? Same thing, but without the bizarre claims that Hsueh makes. --Babel fish (talk) 11:49, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
