Post Content

The long-overdue instructions are finally here! I must be honest: doing daily posts is more work than I expected… However, I’ll try my best to keep this a daily blog. Please forgive me if I miss a day or two.

Pieces of printed paper

Step 1: Print out the cards,using the supplied .pdf file. I’ve laid them out for the international ‘A4′ sized paper. I hope those using US letter size paper don’t encounter problems.

A piece of paper with the outer border removed

Step 2: Remove the outer blank border with a pair of scissors

A piece of paper folded vertically in half

Step 3: With the printed side facing you, fold the paper vertically in half away from you. Both sides of the resulting piece should be printed.

A blank piece of paper covered in glue

Step 4: Open the folded paper and apply glue to the entire non printed side.

A thin piece of folded paper printed with large Chinese characters.

Step 5: Close the fold again and wait a few minutes for the glue to dry.

Six small cards printed with large Chinese characters.

Step 6: Cut along the lines dividing each Chinese character. Voila! You’re done..

About this page

Living in Taiwan for two and a half years got me interested in learning Mandarin Chinese. I’m not very good at it yet, but one day hope to be able to read, write, listen and speak fluently. This page documents my progress, and will hopefuly help others on the same journey, as well.
