Why does Sino-Sudoku make it so easy to learn Chinese?

Learning foreign languages is far easier if the new skills are acquired “in passing”: in situations in which the students’ primary attention is focused on something other than the language lesson. In this way the process of learning the language tends to fade into the background, becoming a secondary focus that takes place automatically. An interesting conversation will implant vocabulary more efficiently and lastingly on the mind than will hours of boring study. Chinese characters can be remembered more clearly and correctly as well if they are practiced while a student solves a puzzle. This method avoids unconscious resistance against learning and instead addresses the brain’s emotion centres, which in turn activates the memory, triggering the production of new brain cells and neurological connections. While the students are fully engaged in solving the puzzle, they not only unconsciously memorize the Chinese characters, but also entire sentences themselves, including complex sentence structure. A great learning method for fun, long-term achievements!
