Summary/Abstract: The cultivation of the awareness of Chinese characters is the foremost step in Chinese language acquisition besides Chinese phonetics; nonetheless, the teaching and training of Chinese ideographic perception in Romanian universities still needs to be improved. The main challenges in forming a correct and concrete awareness of Chinese script in Romanian university students include the misunderstanding of the character strokes, character structures, the basic semantic unit in Chinese, and the Chinese character as a combination of semantics, phonetics, and orthography. Therefore, to improve Chinese character acquisition, a more expounding and progressive introduction of the character knowledge, including the character strokes, components, radicals, and structures, is paramount, as well as the character creation methods, the practice in the utilization of Chinese character dictionary, and the integration with Chinese civilization and cultures.
