Pick up a brush. Make a mess.
That's how it starts.

Vive la Cursive teaches you the cursive forms of 300 essential Chinese characters - the ones that actually appear in poems, not just in text books.

Why learn 10,0000 characters when 300 will unlock most classical poetry? Your First 300 gives you the most frequent characters in Chinese verse, arranged alphabetically by pinyin (A to Z). No digging through dictionaries, just open, trace and write.
