This book teaches the complete Chinese character set with a total of
2636 simplified Chinese characters required for all the six levels of
the Chinese language proficiency exam (HSK). Western learners of Chinese
are not only introduced to their way of writing but are also given other
essential information on them such as pronunciation/transcription
according to the Hanyu Pinyin and Bopomofo systems, basic English
meaning definitions, radicals, and number of strokes. With textbook and
workbook parts and a Chinese character Index at the end of the book. In
the workbook part, users can practice the writing of Chinese characters,
both guided and non-guided. The material is organised according to the
HSK Language Proficiency levels 1 - 6 and within these HSK Language
Proficiency level chapters according to their number of strokes. This
will enable the user to concentrate on characters unknown and to ignore
those already known. An essential textbook and workbook for Western
learners of Chinese.
