Using the Computer to Learn to Read Chinese
Learning to read Chinese Online is becoming much easier these days thanks to your computer. Installing Chinese language packs on your computer will automatically set up Internet Explorer to recognize Chinese and help you to learn the Chinese language for free online. You can even take Chinese lessons online or access an online Chinese language tutor.

If you use the latest Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator you don't have to install any special program to learn Chinese characters because both of these browsers natively support Chinese characters.

If you use older versions of these programs, you should consider upgrading your browser version. You can also download and install Chinese Font characters or download Microsoft's free language packs and input methods for Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

With Netscape it's easy to download and start to learn to read Chinese characters and learn to write Chinese.

Once you have downloaded and installed the new program select Edit and Preferences from Netscape's main menu. In the new window, select Appearance and Fonts. First select Simplified Chinese for the encoding, and choose MS Song or MS Hei. Select MingLiU for Traditional Chinese encoding. After doing these tasks you will be on your way to learning to read and write Chinese in no time.

Most of the time, your browser should automatically detect pages with Chinese content and display them properly so that you can learn Chinese characters. In case your browser does not do that, you need manually adjust the setting to enable your browser to view and learn Chinese characters by changing character encoding.
