Learn Chinese Games



Nowadays, the number of people who want to learn Chinese is increasing. Many people would like to learn Chinese well and pass the HSK test. Someone finds it a little difficult to learn it well. Actually, if you can study Mandarin by joining in some games, it will be efficient to learn the language. And today, I want to introduce a popular Chinese game that is concerned with the Chinese characters. It is “心有灵犀(xin1 you3 ling2 xi1)”.
At the first sight of this game, you may not know what kind of games it belong to. Actually, we can call it a word game. To put it in a more common word, it may be equal to “act and guess”. Generally speaking, there are two people or more joining this game. One person is supposed to express the word on the board without direct hints but only sound or actions. And the other people need to guess his action according to his performance. It is a game that is not only related to the person’s reaction and performance but also concerns their understanding of the characters.
To make it clearer to you, I will list an example. How to express “左顾右盼(zuo3 gu4 you4 pan4)” only by action? First of all, you can tell others it includes four characters and then act the characters one by one. The first one “” is easy to be expressed. Just point at the left direction. The second one “(gu4)” is equal to the last one “(kan4)”, which means “look”. You can act it easily. And the third one is “”. Pointing at the right direction is ok. In this way, the phrase can be clearly expressed. Divining the phrase into several characters is often applied in such a game. You just need to guess each single character and combine them together. Finally the answer is apparent. Joining in such a game is a good way to study Chinese.
The way of learning Chinese is various. Some people study Chinese online; some others attend the Chinese courses. No matter what methods you take, interest is the most important factor during your study.
