Chinese Characters Learn & Remember 2,178 Characters and Their Meanings

Dr. Alan Hoenig

A systematic, building block-style plan for mastering the most daunting aspect of learning Chinese—how to

remember the meaning of more than 2,000 of the most common characters—is provided in this handbook.

Beginning with the simplest of strokes, such as those for numbers, scepter, and earth, and progressing to the

extremely complex, such as destroy, insert, and mouse, this manual presents a methodology employing memory

techniques to associate meanings with the characters’ visual components. A sequence of numbered panels

displays each character in two font styles, and a notation in the adjacent margin describes the character’s

pinyin pronunciation. Graphics that identify the components or characters from which the featured characters

are drawn, and a listing of both the names of these root components, and the panel numbers that cite their

location in the book augment the presentation. Beginners will be best served by using this guide in conjunction

with the development of language skills, while those who are familiar with the language will find this book to be a

comprehensive referenc...

Learn to Read Chinese Fast! Simplified Characters (2nd Edition) Master 2,197 Characters in No Time

Dr. Alan Hoenig

The memory technique pioneered in this book removes the major obstacle to learning modern Mandarin Chinese:

how to remember the meanings of more than 2,000 of the most common simplified Chinese characters (those in

use in mainland China)—enough to read more than 96 percent of the characters in any Chinese text. Like the

previous edition, this essential guide teaches how to learn new character definitions at a breakneck pace, how

to build up new characters using characters already learned, and how to fix meanings and characters forever in

narratives for increased clarity, and inclusion of a number of new characters. Though neither a study guide to

provides access...
