It is said that Chinese is the most difficult to learn in the world. Different from other western languages, Chinese is a kinda hieroglyph. It is vivid and picturesque. The other day I chatted with Amulet on MSN. We mentioned the word pao (Chinese Pinyin), which means run (English). Amulet appreciate 跑 as a pretty picture!
Amulet: the character looks like a man running with a backpack on his back! He is running to the left...
Clara: the right part of 跑 is 包 包=bag=backpack
Amulet: that is what it looks like!
Clara: and left part of 跑 is 足 足= foot
Amulet: I am sitting here thinking . . .you are kidding ... how in the world would I learn this when there are 2 words in one picture? LOL
