Find your script
Posters, cards, and practice books for learning to read and write a new script. Pick a language to start.
Japanese
Three scripts: kanji for meaning, hiragana for the grammar around it, and katakana for borrowed words.
Korean
Hangul was designed to be learned in a day: 24 letters that stack into neat syllable blocks.
Chinese
Bopomofo for the sounds and tones of Mandarin, and the hundred surnames you’ll meet most, in traditional or simplified characters.
For the desk, the wall, and your pocket.
The desk
Practice books for writing each character in stroke order, and ledgers for keeping a habit going.
The wall
Charts you can read from across the room. Download, then print at the size and frame you want.
The pocket
A whole script on a card the size of a credit card, free to print at home. Cut, fold, and keep it on your desk or tucked in a book as a bookmark.
A one-person studio
Brushtalking is a one-person studio making posters, pocket cards, and practice books for learners of Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and other non-Latin scripts. They’re the tools I use in my own study, designed to show what you need and leave out what you don’t.
