Daily Chinese Proverb: Intensify

Posted by Charlie @ Discovering Mandarin Tuesday 13 October 2009 0 comments

This Chinese proverb describes perfectly what I hope the Heisig method of learning Mandarin will do to my learning process. Intensify it.

This proverb is actually more often used in a negative way though. How one may aggravate or cause a situation to intensify through their actions.


变本加厉
biàn běn jiā lì
be intensified



The further story behind the character 本 (běn) can be found over at Grace Lee's How do you know Chinese?
