Exercise
Invent whatever sort of association between the following countries and the Chinese characters they are composed by:
Italy 意大利
Germany 德国
France 法国
Brazil 巴西
How to proceed:
First, read all the meanings of each character (as listed in the "Characters' Details" section).
Then, use your creative fantasy to "animate" each character: does it look like an animal, a piece of cloth, an object? What about the parts it is composed of? Is there a mouth, a woman, a man, a hand? Does it contain other characters?
Last, associate what you have found to the country, to the country location, to its population, to its shape or to whatever you want!
The purpose of this exercise is to help you memorize more Chinese characters.
That's all for today. I wish you like my website and go on clicking and clicking on its other sections!
