Outlier Teaches You How to Learn Chinese Characters by Video
Way back in 2015 I recommended the Outlier Dictionary of Chinese Characters for Pleco. It’s been a while, but the team has been busy. They’ve been continuously adding to their character dictionary, and they’ve also created a video course for self-learners that want to learn Chinese characters by the Outlier method.
You can see an example video on YouTube which outlines the “Pipeline Strategy” for learning Chinese characters.
I don’t routinely plug other products, but this is one I really believe in. These guys know what they’re doing, and they are utterly dedicated to their cause. You may notice in the video that they’re not exactly “entertainers,” but they don’t beat around the bush and they do know what they’re talking about!
They’re starting a video class next week, and if you’re looking for a way to self-study with video guidance from experts, this could be what you’ve been waiting for.
Here’s the link to sign up to the course. (It’s an affiliate link, so if you choose to sign up you’re supporting Sinosplice too.)
Make it a great 2019!
I signed up the day I found out about it!
Hi Elijah,
May I ask what your thoughts are on the course? Also if I may know, did you already know quite a lot of characters before you did the course or a beginner? I’ve just signed up for their March course but having slight doubts about the usefulness of it if you already learned several hundred characters (around 850) and if maybe just getting the add on on Pleco is more beneficial. So I’m really interested to know if intermediate student and above gained much from the online course. Thanks so much in advance!
