Teaching a friend in 30 seconds

“i realized i didn’t have your new number. wanted to ask you, do you know any free software that i can download that’ll allow me to type in chinese? thanks for the help.”

My friend Qixiang emailed to ask how to type Chinese on a Mac, so I used Storyteller to create an online guide with annotated screenshots for every step:

Here’s how:
