It is fun to be a Chinese teacher to teach my native language to the non-Chinese speakers. There are a lot words and expressions, which have been used without any second-thoughts, astonish me from time to time. For example, "有点儿“and "一点儿”, it has never occurred to me that "有点儿“ expresses a tone of unsatisfactory. "怎么走“和“怎么去”， one is to ask about the route and one is to ask the manner of transportation.
At the same time, it is also fun to see that students from all over the world are fascinated in the long Chinese history and the unique pictograph Chinese Characters.
Someone says Chinese is difficult, however there are still many "foreigners" who can speak very proficient Chinese. It is up to the persistence and perseverance.I uploaded "Teach Yourself Chinese", enjoy it.

https://www.cchatty.com/pdf/3727To memorize Chinese characters, break them down into their components (radicals) and use mnemonic devices like creating stories or associations for them. Consistent practice, such as writing by hand, using flashcards, and learning characters in context, is also crucial for success.
Breaking down characters
Deconstruct into radicals: Instead of memorizing characters as a whole, learn to recognize and understand their individual components, called radicals. This can help you guess the meaning of new characters.
Use known characters: Build new characters from ones you already know, using components or structures you've already learned.
Using memory techniques
Create stories and visualizations: Make up stories or visualizations that connect a character's components and meaning. You can even incorporate pinyin into these stories.
Link characters with colors: Assign colors to different tones to help you internalize pronunciation without relying solely on pinyin, especially for intermediate learners.
Use flashcards: Create physical or digital flashcards with the character on one side and the pinyin, meaning, and maybe even a story or image on the other.
Practicing and reinforcing
Write by hand: Practice writing characters repeatedly to reinforce recognition and memorization. Say the pinyin and meaning out loud as you write.
Learn in context: Study characters as part of words and sentences, not in isolation. This helps you understand their meaning in different situations.
Read extensively: Read books, even children's books or parallel texts with side-by-side translations, to see characters in action.
Be consistent: Practice daily by setting a manageable goal, like learning a few new characters and reviewing older ones.
Other tips
Stay patient: Memorizing a large number of characters takes time and persistence, so be patient with yourself.
Use digital tools: Utilize apps and websites designed for language learning, such as flashcard apps like Anki.I uploaded "HSK 5-2 - Lesson 25 - Adding up the load on yourself", enjoy it.
