Mandarin Chinese Characters Made Easy: An Easy Step-by-Step Approach to Learn Chinese Characters (HSK Level 1)

I really appreciate this book. It even gives you the history of the evolution of the characters, from simple pictographs to characters.It's organised in small topics. There are a lot of exercises, in particular to practise writing the characters. The exercises enable you to write a full sentence in stages.The book also has one index from English to Chinese and another one for the Pinyin.All the audio files are online and you are given the link in the book.All the exercises have their answers at the end of the book.Overall a good acquisition.

I'm a complete beginner and this book extremely helpful. It has everything I need to get started. The lessons are well structured and its easy to start building your vocabulary and writing skills. I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to study Mandarin Chinese.

This is a very good book for learning basic level Chinese characters, and quite a few two character words. As another reviewer has said, it does not help much with Chinese grammar & sentence building, but that was not the aim of the book in the first case so should not detract. There is plenty of space to practice writing the characters which are introduced in a logical order. I would have given 5 stars, but my copy has a strange printing error: the headings of the exercise sets have been replaced by gobbledegook (e.g. the second line of the heading for Exercise set 2 reads '<]; 0 '; = ]9 (phi)' before switching back into readable Chinese. The headings for the answer section are also of this form. I'm sure they will fix this in later editions.

I totally recommend you to buy this book if you just started learning chinese and want to know how to write chinese characters. The book explains thoroughly how to write and has an introduction on pronunciation. I love this book.

Good. Useful. Easy.

Was a gift for someone learning great.

This is a wonderful book to start learning Chinese, it has a a lot of information and easy to follow steps when writing the characters. I would definitely recommend this book

Lingo Mastery have done it again with an excellent book on Mandarin Chinese characters.The layout/format for each character is very good with English meanings, stroke-order diagrams etc.Thoroughly recommend.

Lingo Mastery has made a name for itself by offering intelligent, well-thought out learning systems for different languages, and I have used a few of their Mandarin Chinese products.Their latest book is sure to become one of their most popular as well, because Mandarin Chinese Characters Made Easy: An Easy Step-by-Step Approach to Learn Chinese Characters (HSK Level 1) has 14 audio exercise sets (one for each workbook module) to help with your pronunciation , and plenty of space to work on your characters in the book itself.Starting the user off with numbers, simple everyday words, and common phrases, this workbook reinforces the lessons with their audio files with clear pronunciations by speakers whose first language is also Mandarin.Excellent for beginners, and a good re-introduction for anyone who once studied Mandarin but stopped because they felt it was too difficult. This series from Lingo Mastery will give you confidence, and install the desire to want to keep learning as well!Last point worth mentioning - this book is very affordable, compared to other offerings in the Mandarin language marketplace, so cost should not be a deterrent to this purchase!

Like the title states, this book is an easy step-by-step approach to learn Chinese Characters. From the history of the characters to the explanation of the strokes, stroke order and rules to the detailed pictures with each step numbered and illustrated for each stroke, this book captivates you and motivates you to learn to draw the characters. I actually found it fun from the very beginning. Each section has exercise sets which further instill and test your knowledge. Another plus is that each exercise set has a listening practice section where you listen to the accompanying audio files and circle what you heard. This augments and reinforces what you have learned. If you want to learn Chinese Characters, this is a great book to start with.
