How to learn Chinese characters? Learn their types first

How to learn Chinese characters depends on the type of the characters. You need different approaches to remembering Chinese characters for pictograms and phonetic compounds, for example, because they were formed in different ways.
There are 6 types of Chinese characters:
01:12 Pictograms. These Chinese characters developed from pictures of everyday objects and we can easily remember them by looking at the evolution of a picture.
04:27 Simple ideograms. These Chinese characters are essentially icons - graphic symbols of some abstract concepts.
05:08 Compound ideograms. These characters are a combination of two or several pictograms or simple ideograms.
06:44 Phono-semantic compounds are the most numerous type of Chinese characters. They consist of two components, one of which shows an approximate meaning and the other hints at the pronunciation.
09:45 Transfer characters refer to pairs of very similar characters that were one character but then diverged in writing and as a result, one of them got a new meaning.
10:44 Loan or rebus characters were at some point borrowed to write something for which there was no character and eventually lost their original meaning.

我记得我小学的时候记这些汉字都是每个汉字写十遍二十遍去强行记，知道究竟是象形字还是会意字之类的这些技巧帮助其实并不大。记汉字不仅仅对外国人是噩梦，对学汉字的中国小学生也不是件轻松的事情。小学一年级到五六年级我记得都会在学新的汉字。
