Chinese Characters for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Systematic Practice Workbook (Volume 1) NEW HSK 1 Characters, Words, Phrases, Writing Chinese Characters with Pinyin, Translation & Stroke Order

Chinese Characters for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Systematic Practice Workbook is a workbook that is specifically designed to help beginners practice writing Chinese correctly and efficiently. This series contains two volumes. This is volume 1. All the characters in these two volumes are from the NEW OFFICIAL HSK 1 (Beginner Level) vocabulary list. So, when you complete the entire workbook (two volumes), you will not only master the 300 must-know Chinese characters from HSK 1 but also acquire knowledge of more than 480 useful words and 300 phrases that you can use in your writing or speaking. A Systematic Approach: From Easy to Difficult, From Characters to Words & Phrases The characters in this workbook are specifically ordered by difficulty, progressing from easy to challenging. As you advance, we will begin to form words and sentences with the characters you have practiced. This approach enables you to not only learn how to use these words in sentences or conversations but also allows you to practice the characters repeatedly until you remember them naturally. Learn Helpful Insights While Practicing Some Selected Characters In addition to learning to write characters one at a time, you will discover some fun and helpful tidbits throughout the workbook, right beside some of the selected characters that you will be practicing: Grammar Points – Simplified explanations to help you construct sentences. Character or Word Origin – Insights into character or word origins for easy memorization. Word Usage – Avoid common pitfalls by learning the specific usages or exceptions. Cultural Insights – Gain cultural insights and explore how native speakers express their thoughts. Pronunciation – Uncover multiple pronunciations or special rules for certain characters. Write & Say Videos to Help You Learn the Correct Stroke Order and Pronunciation of Each Character, Word, and Phrase. Learning how to write Chinese characters doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve learned their pronunciation since the pronunciation of Chinese characters is generally not related to their writing. Write & Say is a series of videos where you will hear how the characters, words and sentences in this book are pronounced by native speakers and see how every character is written in the correct stroke sequence. By incorporating the pronunciation element to the character, you will not only memorize with your eyes and hands but also use your auditory senses to associate the sound with the character, enhancing your learning.

It is best not to use a brush or fountain pen, as the paper material is not designed for that purpose, and the ink may bleed through the paper.
