Some people who are good at learning things but haven&#8217;t learnt Chinese ask what the problem is; memorising a few thousand facts isn&#8217;t that difficult.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s true, but it also misses the point. The problem with learning thousands of Chinese characters is to keep them separate from each other and remembering how they fit together into words and sentences. That&#8217;s the real challenge.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that this becomes harder the more characters you learn. For beginners, the main problem is to just learn the characters, but the more advanced you become, the bigger the problem of keeping things separate becomes. The things I talk about in this article will probably be more useful for intermediate and advanced learners.<\/p>\n<h3>Zooming in, zooming out and panning<\/h3>\n<p>In this series of articles, I&#8217;ve given you the information and resources you need to integrate the different levels of learning Chinese with each other, showing both how you break things down and how you put them in context.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/zooming-in-the-tools-you-need-to-break-down-and-understand-chinese\/\">Zooming in<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> Moving from a higher to a lower level: sentences to words to characters to components. Breaking things down in order to understand them.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/zooming-out-the-resources-you-need-to-put-chinese-in-context\/\">Zooming out<\/a> \u2013<\/strong> Moving from a lower to a higher level: components to\u00a0 characters to words to sentences. Putting things in context in order to understand them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Panning (this article) \u2013<\/strong> Exploring the nearby areas of the web without either zooming in or out. Understand how similar things are different and how different things are similar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this final article, I will look at panning, which is horizontal references on the same level. In other words, it&#8217;s about how to keep components, characters and words separate from each other.<\/p>\n<h3>Understanding how similar things are different and how different things are similar.<\/h3>\n<p>Before we get to suggestions for tools and resources for panning, there are two important principles I want to discus: making learning meaningful and the importance of tracing errors.<\/p>\n<h3>Meaningful learning<\/h3>\n<p>First, the most important thing when learning to keep two things separate is to make the difference between them meaningful. This can&#8217;t be emphasized enough. If the difference between two common character components such as \u826f and \u826e is just a single dot, it will be more or less impossible to remember this without further action. A dot is not meaningful in itself.<\/p>\n<p>However, once you tie that to pronunciation and realize that characters that contain \u826f are pronounced &#8220;-iang&#8221; (usually with &#8220;l-&#8221; or &#8220;n-&#8220;), while characters that contain \u826e are not (they are pronounced -in or -en with various initials), it&#8217;s much easier. The dot means something! I&#8217;ve written more about this in two articles about phonetic components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Phonetic components, part 2: Hacking Chinese characters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/phonetic-components-part-2-hacking-chinese-characters\/\">Phonetic components, part 1: The key to 80% of all Chinese characters <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a title=\"Phonetic components, part 2: Hacking Chinese characters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/phonetic-components-part-2-hacking-chinese-characters\/\">Phonetic components, part 2: Hacking Chinese characters<\/a><code><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You then use mnemonics to remember the difference. That means that you should have one specific mnemonic for \u826f and another for \u826e that you can use to remember if there should be a dot or not.<\/p>\n<h3>Trace your errors to the source<\/h3>\n<p>The second thing you should do is to trace your errors. The more advanced your Chinese is, the more important this principle becomes. For example, if you write a character incorrectly, does the character you wrote mean something? What about the character component?<\/p>\n<p>Continuing with the above of \u826f and \u826e, if you are to write \u9109 and can&#8217;t remember if there&#8217;s supposed to be a dot over \u826e or not, and don&#8217;t go to the bottom of the issue, you might study for years and still confuse the two character components.<\/p>\n<p>However, by tracing your error to the source, you can solve the problems.In this case, it means learning about the phonetic components at work. And, most importantly, you not only solve this particular problem, you solve the same problem for dozens of other characters that also use \u826f and \u826e.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, not all errors lead to goldmines that help you solve all your problems. In some cases, the answer is lost in time or very hard to find.<\/p>\n<h3>Tools and resources for panning<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While tools and resources were the main focus of previous articles, this article is more about being aware of the problem and the principles I&#8217;ve mentioned above. However, there are some resources that might come in handy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"wsite-logo\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hskhsk.com\/graphs.html\"><span id=\"wsite-title\">HSK\u4e1c\u897f graphs<\/span><\/a><span id=\"wsite-title\"> &#8211; This website has some excellent graphs for illustrating how HSK vocabulary is related to each other.\u00a0<\/span><span id=\"wsite-title\"> <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/dealing-with-near-synonyms-in-chinese-as-an-independent-learner\/\">Dealing with near-synonyms as an independent learner<\/a> &#8211; This is my own article about how to deal with near-synonyms in Chinese.<\/li>\n<li><a title=\"5 websites to help answer your questions about Chinese\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hackingchinese.com\/5-websites-to-help-answer-your-questions-about-chinese\/\">5 websites to help answer your questions about Chinese<\/a> &#8211; You won&#8217;t be able to answer all questions yourself.
