This is a new style of Chinese language resource: a Chinese-English dictionary which is organised by the radicals. It presents 1800 characters essential for learning Chinese, but instead of ordering them in the standard "Pinyin-Alphabetical" style it orders them according to what radical they belong to. This "Traditional Radical Method" of ordering the characters allows learners of all levels to better understand the logic and structure of written Chinese. It encourages a deeper and more enjoyable learning experience of the material.
The 1800 characters are those needed to study and take the New HSK exams up to the 6th level. This 2021 syllabus is broader and more challenging than before and aims to give an excellent level of Chinese proficiency. Along with the characters are the 5456 words for New HSK 1-6 along with parts of speech and English translation.
Chinese language has a reputation among English learners as being challenging, but it does not have to be so hard. Unlock the door to a better Chinese understanding with these "Keys to Chinese".
