I am looking for a systematic way where I can learn Chinese characters online. I have
been studying the characters for the JLPT on my own, doing about 3-5 a day and in the
last three months have improved my ability dramatically! I would like to do something
similar to Mandarin.   Anyone have any recommendations?

I love this site: Learn Hanzi

Normally I hate flashcards, but the way they're presented here makes it kind of addictive to practice them.

Thanks Jinx. I'll be sure to check it out. If you are more self-motivated, I found
http://www.readmandarin.com/ is also a good site because it lists I believe the most
frequently used Mandarin characters on the internet. I am not really looking to learn to
write them as I am in Japanese(different study goals), so I figure learning about 20 or
so of these every couple of days shouldn't be too challenging. Looking at the first 20
there was only maybe 6 or 7 that I was slightly unfamiliar with.

For the Chinese characters to really sink in, I strongly urge you to write them. This is why for me flash cards are only part of the story. They help jog the memory but don't necessarily get the knowledge in there in the first place. Writing is what does that for me.

I agree. Writing the kanji has certainly made me understand them and remember them much
better.

With Chinese it is a bit different since I already know about 500+ characters from my
study of Japanese, so I am going to play around with them and see which approach for
remembering them works best for me.

http://www.zein.se/patrick/3000char.html is also another site that I will be using as
well.

Skritter: this website has completely changed the way I study Chinese characters, and has taught me thousands of them.
