Dear Jamie,

　　I am more than glad to know that you are interested in the traditional Chinese literature. It’s never easy to learn Chinese characters and essays. Even native Chinese speakers may find it hard to learn them well, so you don’t have to feel upset. Here are some useful tips.

　　First, turn to the Internet for help when you have an unsolved problem, where you can learn how to read and write the characters. Second, you can learn from Chinese people around and I’m always here to help you. But the most important is to keep on learning and reading. Only by constant learning and reading can you promote your understanding to the traditional Chinese literature. You are sure to make progress!

　　Best wishes!

Yours
