Entrepreneur ShaoLan Hsueh created Chineasy to educate the world about the richness of Chinese culture through its written language. Her visual, building-block-style teaching method makes learning characters simple and fun: by learning common characters, readers can quickly grasp and communicate basic words and phrases while traveling.

Through teaching fundamental building-blocks, ShaoLan also explains the history and cultural influences behind each character.
