Book excerpt: This book has all the official vocabulary for HSK 1, 2, 3 and 4. One of the methods of learning a new language is to start with memorising new vocabulary and meaning along with the pronunciation. The Chinese language is particularly hard to master. It has five tones (including the silent tone), and to make things even more complicated, the same word can have different meanings and pronunciations, depending on the context. For instance, the word 还 is used in both HSK 2 and HSK 3 with different meanings and pronunciations. In HSK 2, 还 (with the pinyin hái) means also, still, yet whereas in HSK 3 还 (with the pinyin huán) means to return something. Therefore, it is important to learn the right meaning and pronunciation for the appropriate HSK level.

Download or read book Remembering Simplified Hanzi 1 written by James W. Heisig and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At long last the approach that has helped thousands of learners memorize Japanese kanji has been adapted to help students with Chinese characters. Book 1 of Remembering Simplified Hanzi covers the writing and meaning of the 1,000 most commonly used characters in the simplified Chinese writing system, plus another 500 that are best learned at an early stage. (Book 2 adds another 1,500 characters for a total of 3,000.) Of critical importance to the approach found in these pages is the systematic arranging of characters in an order best suited to memorization. In the Chinese writing system, strokes and simple components are nested within relatively simple characters, which can, in turn, serve as parts of more complicated characters and so on. Taking advantage of this allows a logical ordering, making it possible for students to approach most new characters with prior knowledge that can greatly facilitate the learning process. Guidance and detailed instructions are provided along the way. Students are taught to employ "imaginative memory" to associate each character’s component parts, or "primitive elements," with one another and with a key word that has been carefully selected to represent an important meaning of the character. This is accomplished through the creation of a "story" that engagingly ties the primitive elements and key word together. In this way, the collections of dots, strokes, and components that make up the characters are associated in memorable fashion, dramatically shortening the time required for learning and helping to prevent characters from slipping out of memory.
