Basic Chinese Characters (HSK 1-3) - Paperback

by Hua Wei (Illustrator), Pedro Ceinos-Arcones (Author)

This book proposes a new approach in the study of Chinese characters based on the analysis of the phonetic groups to which the characters belong. The book will allow the reader to learn easily most of the Chinese characters. It includes about 600 characters, those required for the HSK 1 to 3 levels, and some more needed to understand them.The content is almost the same of HANZI FOR HSK, with some improvements in the design and a bunch of images to learn the proper order that must be followed when writing Chinese. All the characters included in this book are explained following their real etymology. In a few cases, when I have considered that this etymology is too complex for the students of the basic levels, it has been replaced by some logical clues.
