This user-friendly book is aimed at helping students of Mandarin
Chinese learn and remember Chinese characters. At last--there is a
truly efficient and enjoyable way to learn Chinese characters! This
book helps students to learn and remember both the meanings and the
pronunciations of over 800 characters. This otherwise daunting task
is made more accessible by the use of techniques based on the
psychology of learning and memory. Fundamental principles include
the use of visual imagery, the visualization of short "stories,"
and the systematic building up of more complicated characters from
basic building blocks. Although Learning Chinese Characters is a
comprehensive book intended for students, it can be used by anyone
with an interest in Chinese characters, without any prior knowledge
of Chinese. It can be used alongside (or after, or even before) a
course in the Chinese language. All characters are simplified (as
in mainland China) but traditional characters are also given, when
available. Key features: Specially designed pictures and stories
are used in a structured way to make the learning process more
enjoyable and effective, reducing the need for rote learning to the
absolute minimum. The emphasis throughout is on learning and
remembering the meanings and pronunciations of the characters. Tips
are also included on learning techniques and how to avoid common
problems. Characters are introduced in a logical sequence, which
also gives priority to learning the most common characters first.
Modern simplified characters are used, with pronunciations given in
pinyin. Key information is given for each character, including
radical, stroke-count, traditional form, compounds, and guidance on
writing the character. This is a practical guide with a clear,
concise and appealing layout, and it is well-indexed with clear
lookup methods. The 800 Chinese characters and 1,033 compounds
specified for the original HSK Level A proficiency test are
covered.
