16+ Printable Chinese Worksheets at ChineseClass101

How to Use ChineseClass101’s Worksheets

Just download our Chinese worksheets PDF files and print them out! Then, practice writing out words and phrases on the provided lines on the inside. It’s as simple as that.

How the Chinese alphabet worksheet works:

The first thing any beginner should learn is the alphabet. However, most schools can take a week to teach you the alphabet. But, with these worksheets, you can learn the alphabet in an hour or less!

Just practice writing out the characters inside the worksheet. You’ll even get a chance to practice writing a few simple words. Once you’re done with the alphabet worksheet, feel free to move on to the other Chinese worksheet PDFs.

Here’s how the Chinese writing worksheets work:

In the first part, you’ll get the Chinese word and its meaning, and your job is to write the word in Chinese.

In the second part, you get the Chinese word without any translations. Your job is to write the English translation here.

The third part will test your ability to recall the Chinese words. Here, you only get the English translation. Your job is to try and remember the Chinese word and write it out on the provided line.

By the end, you’ll remember the words because you’re tested on them in multiple ways: 1) recalling the meaning of the Chinese word and 2) recalling the Chinese word from the English translation.

You can also print out several copies of the Chinese worksheet PDFs in order to get extra practice.

5 Reasons Why You Should Learn with Worksheets

  • They’re 100% FREE at ChineseClass101.
  • You get practice writing in Chinese.
  • You get to remember Chinese much better.
  • You’ll be able to speak and understand more Chinese as a result.
  • You’ll never learn if you don’t practice.

You’re here because you want to learn Chinese, right?

Well, If you want to learn and speak flowing Chinese, you can’t just passively read or listen to Chinese and hope it sticks. A few words may stick but you will forget a majority of what you hear and learn. And you’re probably already well aware of how quickly you forget what you learn, right? Let’s change that.

So, if you want to truly learn Chinese, you’ll need to practice. Repeated practice is what cements the Chinese into your brain. And that’s where our Chinese worksheets for beginners come in.

Not only will you learn words, phrases, and Chinese grammar, but you also get a chance to practice what you’ve learned and cement these words into your head. The worksheets are designed to teach and test you, so that you end up remembering the Chinese better.

Why worksheets & homework activities?

Worksheets are great practice for kids after class. You can print them out on your own and let your child write on the characters on the worksheet. By following the correct stroke order, your child can learn the Chinese Hanzi characters better. We also find that many kids love the process of writing characters, and so do adults. It’s relaxing!

It’s always good to mix sources for your child’s Chinese language study. This is why it’s good to, aside taking a language course for kids at GoEast, watch Chinese movies for kids, apps for kids, or read from Chinese books for kids. This isn’t just more fun, it’s also educationally sound. These layers of different skills are applied together. And this is also why adding worksheets to the mix is educational.

Julia

I’m working through My First Chinese Words with my 6yo and 7yo. My 6yo gets overwhelmed writing the characters – too much, she says. Would you recommend I still insist on it? Or can she wait a year until she’s in 2nd grade?

eva

When my son first started, we didn’t insist that he work on characters. Even now, after a year of study, our focus is on conversation and building vocabulary. The characters he knows he has become familiar with over time. It is amazing how much he can remember without the character practice. If there are particular characters that our teacher feels he should now, he will ask that he practice writing them 10x each. However, he doesn’t expect this regularly. Our ultimate goal is that they both enjoy learning the language.

Esther Lee

Kids definitely get overwhelmed with writing the characters, so just choose a couple to start off with. You can even just start off with 1. Since each of the Chinese characters is a pictogram, sometimes it helps to give the kids a bit of background of how the word was developed. We have a DVD collection called the Magical Chinese Characters that uses animation to tell a short story of how a Chinese character was developed. It helps to make the Chinese characters a bit more approachable and memorable in terms of what to write.

  • Enter fuzzy Pinyin (Pinyin without tones) into the Pinyin input box. For examples, hao and nihao . Use v for ü , e.g. lv
  • When typing words with two or more characters, you can just type the first letter of each syllable. For example, ggqc for 公共汽车 , daxs for 大学生 , and gxing for 高兴 .
  • Press the corresponding number key, or click the Chinese character or word, to select the character or word from the candidate box
  • Press the spacebar to select the first character or word in the candidate box
  • Press Right Arrow or Down Arrow key to show the next page of candidates
  • Press Left Arrow or Up Arrow key to show the previous page of candidates
  • Letters (a to z) and numbers (0 to 9) are used to enter Pinyin and select the candidate character or word. All other ASCII characters are automatically inserted into the Chinese text box
  • Press Ctrl to toggle the input cursor to the Chinese text box so you can enter numbers and letters into the Chinese text or edit the Chinese text. For example, selectively deleting some Chinese text, adding white spaces or line breaks.
  • Press the Alt + Shift keys to show and select a Chinese punctuation mark .
  • On tablets or smartphones, tap the Pinyin input box or Chinese text box to switch back and forth
  • If you press backspace key and there are no more Pinyin letters in the Pinyin input box to delete, the last character in the Chinese text box will be deleted instead.

Use this tool to add tone marks to pinyin or to convert tone number (e.g. hao3) to tone marks.

Although you can use the red buttons to add tone marks, we highly recommend you use the number method (e.g. hao3) for speed and placement of the accent above the correct vowel. [Hint: Type "v" for "ü"] Note: You do not need to use this tool to enter pinyin in this dictionary.

150 Common Chinese Character List [Free PDF]

homework symbol in chinese

If you are new to Chinese characters and want a place to start, you’re at the right place. Our 150 most common Chinese characters list will help you get started on your journey. 

MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) created an algorithm that calculated the most often seen Chinese characters in written Chinese in order of how frequently they are used.

Jump to the list now.

This post may include affiliate links. That means if you click a product link below and then purchase a product, Written Chinese will take a small commission to keep the site and dictionary running. (Don’t worry, it’s at no extra cost to you!)

Chinese Characters, a Quick Overview

There are tens of thousands of Chinese characters, but since the symbols that make up written Chinese has developed over thousands of year, the exact number is unknown. In 2004, the 异体字字典 (yì tǐ zì zì diǎn) Chinese Dictionary included a record 106,230 Chinese characters, but only a small amount of those are used today.

In modern-day schools, children are expected to learn 3500 characters , but many know more than 5000 by the time they graduate. In mainland China, students learn simplified characters, while traditional Chinese characters are used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao.

Difference Between Characters and Words

One character doesn’t make one Chinese word. A word is usually made up of 2 or more characters, so learning these 150 characters means you actually know many more words.

For example, in #11 in this Chinese character list, 这 can be combined with several other characters in the list to make words. For example, 这个, 这里, 这样, 这么, and 这些.  

If you’ve looked at the new HSK 2021 system , over 9 levels, you’ll study 3000 characters which equate to 11092 words.

You can download our Chinese character list as a PDF and excel spreadsheet so you can study later and record your learning. We’ll also send you some tips and instructions on how to start learning.

20 Most Common Chinese Characters in Detail

Here are the first 20 most common Chinese characters from the list to get you started. I’ve provided definitions for each character, as well as radical breakdowns, example sentences, and common bigrams.

The first character to learn is (de), often used as a possessive particle with a neutral tone. It might seem quite an odd character to begin with, but you will use this one so often, better learn it now.

Common Bigrams

你的 / 您的 (nǐ de)/ (nín de) yours

我的 (wǒ de) my / mine

别的 (bié de) else / other

Example Sentences

我们的书包是一样的 。 (wǒ men de shū bāo shì yī yàng de) Our bags are the same.

More about 的 (de)

(yī) is an ideograph character, meaning that it is an abstract idea of the number 1.

一个 (yī gè) a /an

一些 (yī xiē) some / a few

一种 (yī zhǒng) a kind of

我有一个孩子 。(wǒ yǒu yī gè hái zi) I have one child.

她有一点不高兴 。(tā yǒu yī diǎn bù gāo xìng) She is a little unhappy.

More about 一 (yī)

(shì) is commonly found to mean ‘is’ or ‘are’ in a Chinese sentence. It can also be used as ‘yes’.

不是 (bú shì) no

但是 (dàn shì) but / however

他是老师吗 ?(tā shì lǎo shī ma) Is he a teacher?

homework symbol in chinese

More about 是 (shì)

The origins of the (bù) character are that it depicts a bird flying up towards to the sky and out of sight. The horizontal stroke 一 shows that the sky is the limit, preventing the bird from going any further. 

不同 (bù tóng) different

不是 (bú shì) not / no

我不知道 。(wǒ bù zhī dao) I don’t know.

他不认识这个字 。(tā bù rèn shi zhè ge zì) He can’t read this word.

homework symbol in chinese

More about 不 (bù)

不 (bù) can sometimes be confusing because there is a tone change when it is found in conjunction with another character. 

  • Learn more about tone changes in our article.  
  • Learn the basics about Chinese tones here .
  • Learn more about saying ‘no’ in Chinese .

Although (le) can be used in a few different ways, it is most commonly used as a particle to indicate that something is completed.

到了 (dào le) to arrive

别忘了你的东西 。(bié wàng le nǐ de dōng xi) Don’t forget your stuff

homework symbol in chinese

More about 了 (le)
