Learning characters as a cultural evening format in Duisburg

On Monday, July 27, 2026, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, the systematic view of Chinese characters will be in focus in Duisburg. The course is aimed at learners who want to understand structures, recognize radicals, and deepen their vocabulary sustainably.

Between radical and rhythm: the structure of Chinese characters
The evening starts with the basics and simultaneously introduces the thinking behind the script. Using radicals and character families, the format shows how Chinese characters are organized, read, and written. Theoretical classification, matching tasks, and practical writing exercises interlock and make the course a precisely structured writing school with literary discipline.

Handwriting, memory, and language feeling
Particularly appealing is the connection between manual work and mental concentration. The course focuses on writing exercises so that characters are not only recognized but truly internalized. The offer is suitable for interested parties up to HSK level 4 and for advanced learners who want to refresh their written security. At the end of the course series, there will be 30 to 40 radicals and the associated common characters.
