How to learn Chinese characters?
Are there any techiques or special software? Or maybe books? Looking for tips! :-)I am pretty sure that Chinese characters have kind of a system. For example, in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbUODEccPCc&feature=relmfu the girl shows the connection between some characters. And such "system" makes it easy to remember them. So that is why I asking for internet resourses, book or software. If it exists, of course.
Another problem is drawing characters. The strokes order. It matters, right?

First, you have to learn Pinyin。 You can search in google with keywords "pinyin" o "拼音”
Second, for every chinese character, you have to write at least 100(maybe for your 10 ) times to remember it.
Third, every morning, you read alound in Chinese.
Forth, after one month, you will know Chinese

It's quite difficult to learn chinese characters by youself, since they are not like Russian which can be pronounced just from it's spelling, chinese characters has no relation with their pronounciation .maybe you can learn from radical which most characters are made of, a big percentage of characters has meaning which can be infered from these radicals.(usually these radicals are simple characters themselves)

你好， Таня.
Попробуйте метод Ильи Франка. Это китайские сказки, специально упрощённые, и аудио сопровождение. Я только начал, но уже отметил лёгкость и удобство метода.
К сожалению, не сохранил ссылку, где нашёл это добро бесплатно.

I personally use a frequency list like this one here: http://www.zein.se/patrick/3000char.html
That way you learn only the characters that are useful and you know you will use a lot. But you still want to learn the character components or radicals also. Knowing the component make it easier to memorize and write the characters. Each character sort of tells a story, I think that is how the native Chinese are able to memorize 7000 to 10,000 characters. You can make up your own stories as you go along.
