Mastering Chinese Characters: A Modern Approach - is an innovative approach to mastering 300 common, high-frequency characters. It includes a unique cartoon drawing for each character to aid recollection. The formation of each character is learned utilizing a novel method of listening to and repeating a catchphrase. It also includes the authors' original analysis of the 'four corners of deconstruction', ' graphic interpretation', 'memory formulas ', and vivid and intuitive methods to shape the sound and meaning of Chinese characters as a whole. This is great resource for either classroom teaching or for self-use. Students on average learn each character within 5 minutes. The book is bilingual Chinese-English and comes with a CD of mp3 audio files.
As an innovative, alternative approach for Chinese language learners, the author's deconstruction and graphic interpretation of 300 Chinese characters of high frequency of use serve as one of the easiest ways to memorize Chinese characters. The illustration next to each Chinese character forms an imaginative association between each ancient Chinese pictogram and its modern meaning. The author drew on his long-term teaching experience at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London) and his book has proven very popular among Chinese language teachers as well as students. This bilingual Chinese-English book comes with a CD of mp3 files and helps learners remember characters by listening to and repeating catchphrases.
