Learn Chinese Postcard – 謝謝 Thanks

謝謝 /xiè xie/ Thanks Expressing gratitude and appreciation. While foreigners can convey thanks with a simple "THX," Taiwanese use the 17 strokes of "謝" to express theirs. The difference in characters is quite remarkable. Despite its many strokes, the character "謝" is square and well-proportioned, perfectly showcasing the beauty of Chinese character structure. It means ‘Thanks, Thank you’. When you thank somebody for doing something, you say “xie xie”. Or you can say “xie xie ni”, “ni” is you. It’s very commonly used. Easy to Learn Chinese: Taiwan is one of the few countries that preserves and uses Traditional Chinese characters. We've used this as inspiration to create a series of "Learn Chinese" postcards, transforming complex characters from inscrutable scribbles into something foreigners can try writing themselves, experiencing the charm of Hanzi artistry firsthand. Postcard Paper: 300 gsm recycled cotton paper Postcard Size: 148 x 105 mm Printing & Publishing: Nisen Design The "Learn Chinese Series" is designed to introduce foreigners to Chinese in a simple, accessible way, rather than through academic rigor. The character writing methods and stroke orders are based on commonly used practices and visual design considerations. The numbers on the postcard indicate the stroke order, designed as a connect-the-dots concept, and are not the official stroke counts defined by the Ministry of Education. For young children learning to write, please refer to Mandarin textbooks or the official stroke order learning website. The stroke order on the back of the postcard follows the standard version from the Ministry of Education.
