Taiwan has released its official version of an online learning program for traditional Chinese
characters and an English version for those whose mother tongue is not Chinese. The Ministry of
Education (MOE) said the new version features the stroke orders of 4,808 frequently used
characters and the 37-symbol "bopomofo, " a Mandarin phonetic system used only in Taiwan,
and they come with audio files, helping students to learn traditional Chinese more efficiently.
The new version will allow those who do not know traditional Chinese to use Hanyu Pinyin to
search for characters, according to the MOE. (Source: Focus Taiwan, Sep 21, 2010).
