Don’t suffer the frustration encountered when using standard dictionaries:
- Character not listed
- Slow searches using radical + stroke count method
- Character importance not evident
Chinese by Numbers has three ways to find characters and together these make looking for characters an exciting discovery. While dictionaries require you identify the ‘radical’ and count strokes, Chinese by Numbers allows you to find characters from any component or part of a component or from the pronunciation of a component. And you can combine two components for more precise and quicker searches. After a little practice this reduces search time by fifty to eighty percent. Then you are free to read quickly without the tedium.
The indexing system provides unique insights into how Chinese characters are pronounced, how phonetic components are derived and when there are exceptions in these phonetic patterns.
As one user stated, the approach of this book trains the eye to see and understand the whole character.
