Introductory Cellis Wheels

Are you struggling to learn Chinese characters? Discover 'tricks' to help you learn like a native Chinese!
Learning character by character is tedious and can get more confusing the more characters you learn.

Cellis WheelTM is a powerful tool that helps you to build a mental map of characters and cultivate your ability to decode them easily.

Cellis WheelsTM are comprehensive cognitive organisers that integrated many aspects of Chinese characters. They are:
1. Visual Organisers
Characters sharing the same components (CELL) are rounded up in the Ferris- wheel-like graphics for easy comparison. Some of these characters are similar-looking, hence can be easily mixed up if not consciously distinguished.

2. Sound Arrangers
You can see the sound patterns of these characters at a glance and differentiate similar-sounding characters easily

3. Meaning Discoverers
Characters in the wheels are presented in such a way that clues to the meanings of characters are revealed.

Structure Decoder
Writing drills can be reduced or even phased out if you can recognise and distinguish characters without building muscle memory through writing. Instead, visualise the structure of characters and the sequence the parts have to be written in your mind through the use of colours.

This BOOK is designed to be a:
Neophyte's Dictionary
You are introduced to the fundamental meaning of a character instead of being overwhelmed by multiple meanings. This will serve as the anchor for future learning and exploration.

Beautiful Exploratory Mental Canvas
Dictionaries is a linear way of presenting the characters - isolated and fragmentary. Cellis Wheels (CW) connect similar characters and show their relationships.
Dictionaries focus on helping you go deep into individual characters. Our books focus on helping you explore a myriad of characters, develop an awareness of possibilities and be attentive to similarities and differences.
Most dictionaries are text-based, black print. Our books are graphic-based, colourful!
