What is wubi xing

However, you are a language learner - putting the time and effort in is what you do. As this article will explain, learning Wubi is well worth it. With pinyin input, you really need to know Mandarin Chinese, but for Wubi you just need to know the shape of the character. This means you could even use it to enter a lot of Japanese kanji.

The really cool thing about Wubi is that you have to know the shape and components of a Chinese character to type it. So, when learning to type, you memorise radicals and groups of radicals.

This deals with a common problem that applies not just to foreign learners but to native speakers too: forgetting how to write because you routinely type instead of write. The main reason for this is that, unlike with traditional phonetic input methods, one does not have to spend time selecting the desired character from a list of homophonic possibilities: virtually all characters have a unique representation. As its name suggests, the keyboard is divided into five regions.

Each region is assigned a certain type of stroke. Memorization and practice are key factors for proficient usage. In this article, the following convention will be used: character will always mean Chinese character, whereas letter, key and keystroke will always refer to the keys on keyboard.
