At the recommendation of the C-Pod community, I have been trying to learn to write the Chinese characters in the hopes that this will help me to retain them better when I try to read them.  But I really need help in stroke order on the more complicated ones.  I have been using the USC Chinese Group animation site but they do not have some of the characters I am looking for.  Does anyone know of an animation site where I could put in the pinyin for the character I am searching for, select the correct character I'm looking for, then watch an animation of how it is written.  This would be ideal, but how do the rest of you look up how to write characters correctly?

Hi wei1xiao4,

zhongwen.com has a link to an animation of almost all of the characters in its very extensive dictionary. The link takes you to a site called lost-theory.org, but I find it easier to go via the link on the zhongwen.com pages.
