This volume offers a collection of over 1600 mnemonics that were built by Chinese native
speakers (teachers and translators) in cooperation with Chinese learners. The way of making
Chinese characters easy to memorize is here to divide characters into smaller components. Each
of them has already a meaning of its own so that these parts are combined into short
one-phrase-stories that can be easily memorized and provide a fascinating impression of the
pictorial language of Chinese characters. For more information please consult
www.mandarinstrokes.com (a Stroke Order Dictionary for over 6000 Chinese simplified characters
with stroke orders and interactive exercises). For a GERMAN VERSION please see ISBN
9789881919380. This volume is available in an English-Spanish and French-German edition.
