Download or read book Learn Chinese Characters Easy Mnemonics to Memorize Hanzi written by L. Castelluzzo and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to serve as a helpful and practical tool which will assist the reader in their efforts to memorize and understand the most common Chinese characters. It provides visual descriptions which encourage the reader to see images in the characters, and to associate those images with a translation that can be more easily memorized.As any student of the Chinese language knows, many characters contain phonetic radicals which are not associated with the definition of the character. The purpose of this book is to confront this problem head-on, by re-connecting the phonetic radicals to a visual concept, and providing a unique mnemonic phrase that will help the reader to remember the definition of the character.It is strongly recommended that the reader becomes very familiar with the short-list of 50 key radicals before moving on to the characters. After the characters, there is a list of vocabulary that uses combinations of the characters to form everyday words.Please note that this book is only intended to serve as a memory aide, and it is not intended to teach the actual history or etymology of the Chinese language, nor is it intended to be a definitive guide to the official radical of each character. Also, radicals and characters often have multiple definitions, and so in order to simplify the memorization process as much as possible, a significant effort has been devoted to selecting the most all-encompassing translation as possible.In order to maximize the efficiency of learning, this book uses 50 of the most common radicals to cover 400 of the most common characters, which when combined with each other, will provide a total vocabulary of approximately 1000 words.This book is organized into three sections: Radicals, Characters, Vocabulary. For each section, there are practice questions that test the reader's ability to translate: Chinese to English, English to Chinese, Chinese to PinYin, PinYin to English, English To PinYin, and PinYin to Chinese. Solutions are provided for all of these questions, so that the student can independently review their own work and assess their progress.

Download or read book Learn the Most Common 250 Chinese Characters written by Jan Rehmer and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn and remember the most common 250 Chinese characters in the most efficient way Start with the statistically most common characters, see out of which radicals each character consists and learn them by using pictures and stories. The book contains the most frequent 250 characters, meaning after being through the book, you will be able to understand approx. 60% of any written Chinese text. The frequency of the characters was statistically determined by analyzing a vast number of Chinese texts and arranging them by frequency. This makes sure that you start learning relevant words only that you can put directly to use. Building on top of that list, each character was then broken down into its individual components (down to the radicals) to help you understand what each character is made of. After having "split" the characters, mnemonics will make the characters stick with you forever. Therefore, whenever possible the characters were built into a picture in such a way, that the picture conveys the characters meaning. Apart from pictures, stories were used to bring together the characters in a funny or remarkable way. After having exercised with the book, you'll be equipped with all the tools you need to attack the next characters all by yourself and enable you to set your own learning pace. Summing up: 1. Frequency ensures that you make progress in the most efficient way. When you learn a new word, you want to make sure that it is of use for you right from the start. Starting with the most frequent word in any language is therefore certainly the best way. 2. Splitting helps to understand the individual components of a character. It also trains your brain to decipher any Chinese character and see the meaning behind them. 3. Mnemonics make the characters stick with you forever. Learning by means of visualization is undoubtedly the best way to learn a new word. TAGS Learn Chinese, Chinese characters, Chinese for beginners, Simplified Chinese characters

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Analysis of Chinese Characters written by George Durand Wilder and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Analysis of Chinese Characters The author of the great Chinese English dictionary Mr. Giles, has not hesitated to express most trenchantly his contempt of etymology as it has been applied to Chinese Characters. He says that "Much of the etymology of the Shuo Wen is childish in the extreme", and that the phonetic principle of combination is the only one of which we can pretend to know anything. Notwithstanding the ridicule heaped upon it, scholars, like Chalmers, Chalfant, Wieger and others have continued to pursue the fascinating study of the origin of these symbols and have given us most interesting results. These results are so convincing that in the teaching of character writing we have unhesitatingly adopted the principle that the etymology of the earliest Chinese writers on the subject, childish though it may often be and fanciful, is yet superior to the numerous mnemonics that have been invented by foreign students to assist in the difficult task of memorizing the forms of a few thousand characters. The student of these pages may often consider the etymology suggested fanciful and the logic of the combinations far fetched but the following consideration should be borne in mind. They are the products of Chinese fancy and imagination and to some extent show the workings of the Chinese mind. Therefore they interest us who are students of Chinese thought. Moreover they often may only seem to be fanciful because we are ignorant of the ancient customs out of which they arise, or of the forms of the utensils of which they are pictures, or of the variations of pronunciation in the different dialects. If any oue of us were entrusted with the task of inventing written symbols for both concrete objects and abstract ideas it is doubtful if we would produce anything much less fanciful and we certainly could produce nothing of such rich historic interest, as certainly invests the 3000 most primitive characters. Writing Chinese characters is a task of memory. Modern pedagogy. insists on the value of logical or even fanciful links between ideas for fixing them in mind.

Writing Chinese characters is a task of memory. Modern pedagogy insists on the value of logical or even fanciful links between ideas for fixing them in mind. Those who try to learn Chinese characters almost invariably grope for some association of ideas, some logic in the formation by which to hold them in memory. We have no doubt that the groupings which have been arrived at already by a study of the ancient inscriptions of the early seal writings and etymologies are more interesting, more logical, and wider in- range than any memory system that has been or can be invented by the superficial study of the characters as written with the modern Chinese pen. These etymological studies enlist the interest of the historic imagination to aid the dry-as-dust task of committing to memory these curious symbols of the thought of three or four millenniums….
