Forget the old rote memorization method and learn Chinese the fun and easy way!

Chinese is the oldest continuously-used writing system in the world, and also one of the most complicated. Written Chinese Made Easy presents the 1,000 most common characters and associates each one with a visual and verbal clue to help you remember it.

By associating a character's meaning with a simple sketch, learners develop an additional layer of context. Presented in groups or clusters that share common elements and meanings, the characters become easy to distinguish from one another. Highly visual, this book is a powerful language learning tool for serious students as well as general readers who wish to understand the Chinese writing system.

Written Chinese Made Easy includes:

1,000 characters and over 3,000 words for beginning learners of Chinese Audio recordings of native-speaker pronunciations for all the characters
