At long last the approach that has helped thousands of learners memorize Japanese kanji has been adapted to help students with Chinese characters. Book 1 of Remembering Traditional Hanzi covers the writing and meaning of the 1,000 most commonly used characters in the traditional Chinese writing system, plus another 500 that are best learned at an early stage. (Book 2 adds another 1,500 characters for a total of 3,000.)

Of critical importance to the approach found in these pages is the systematic arranging of characters in an order best suited to memorization. In the Chinese writing system, strokes and simple components are nested within relatively simple characters, which can, in turn, serve as parts of more complicated characters and so on. Taking advantage of this allows a logical ordering, making it possible for students to approach most new characters with prior knowledge that can greatly facilitate the learning process.

Guidance and detailed instructions are provided along the way. Students are taught to employ "imaginative memory" to associate each character’s component parts, or "primitive elements," with one another and with a key word that has been carefully selected to represent an important meaning of the character. This is accomplished through the creation of a "story" that engagingly ties the primitive elements and key word together. In this way, the collections of dots, strokes, and components that make up the characters are associated in memorable fashion, dramatically shortening the time required for learning and helping to prevent characters from slipping out of memory.

I kept hearing recommendations from various polyglot YouTubers. It's as good as they say, I'm at 160 characters in a month with minimal effort. Use with Anki, download the deck that someone made.

5,0 su 5 stelle My time learning the 3036 characters was totally worth it -- my reflections along the way
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 14 marzo 2013
Acquisto verificato
First, thanks a lot to Aphasiac, Vorpal, Swilkins, Haraksha and everyone else whose stories helped me make it to the end of these two books.

I thought it would be helpful to the RTH community if I gave my reflections on the Hanzi learning process after entering the '3036' club and learning each of the characters in these two books.

[Note: to find over 2,000 of my stories for the 3,035 Hanzi you'll find in Books 1 (1500 Hanzi) and 2 (1536 Hanzi), go to reviewingthehanzi.com , where you can also enter your own stories, track your progress and review your keywords. This site has been a big study aid for myself and others.]

[Second note: this review covers Remembering Traditional Hanzi I and II at the same time, because they're essentially two volumes of the same work.]

To begin, I'm definitely happy that I spent so much time and effort in learning these characters. Yes, I said 'time and effort', because as people warned me before I started, while these books may be the best way to learn Hanzi, they don't take the effort out of learning the characters. My Remembering the Hanzi word document, in which I've placed all of the character stories I've used to remember the Hanzi, is now about 120,000 words. I needed to write at least 2,000 stories to get from #1 to #3036, which takes a lot of time out of your day. I don't say any of this to brag, only to make it clear that while these books are amazing in the way they teach, you still have to put in lots of work.

I am also happy to defend the Heisig/Richardson method against the criticism it sometimes encounters. It's true that you won't learn to write these characters fast except by rewriting them and rewriting them. It's also true that I've forgotten about half of the ones I've learnt. And yes, it's also true that writing out the stories takes a long time and can seem ridiculous to others. And yet, the Heisig method is so brilliant in how it shows that each character is made up of similar component parts. Learning those parts and making stories that explain how they come together to form characters is, in my opinion, far more intellectually rewarding (and ultimately more efficient) than writing the same character 30 times in hopes you'll remember each stroke.

Now just a little on my Hanzi learning process. I got Book 1 in June 2012, bought Book 2 in January 2013 after a month-long break or so, and finished going through the characters in March 2013. At first my progress was a little slow, but ironically, the further I got into the books (and the more complex the characters got, at least by their appearance), the faster the process went. That's probably because you learn the bulk of the 'primitive elements' in Book 1, and by the time you get deep into Book 2, you're learning very few completely new things, and those characters and elements that once were alien are now very familiar to you. (Except for 2976 . . . but you'll get there!)

Second, the way I used my time to learn the Hanzi became more efficient, and it eventually went something like this. First, I would go through the 20, or 30, or 50 new characters I was going to learn that day and write down all of the stories in a row in a Word document (which might become the largest document you have on your computer, in terms of word count). I often went through the characters over lunch, or on the bus, since I would generally remember my stories by memory if I couldn't write them down then. Then I would go back and review any primitive elements that I had forgotten (and inevitably there were a couple). After that I would turn to the index and look through the handwritten forms in order to make sure I knew what the character positioning was, and if there were any alterations in the writing style.

After a break, I would take a blank sheet of paper with nothing but the keywords on it and write down the characters to the best of my ability. Once I finished writing, I would then go back and check my work. Any wrongly written or forgotten characters would then be rewritten, again after a short break. Once I had gotten all of them done I would make a note of this on the word document and upload them to RTH. While a lot of this may be self-explanatory, I found that my work went much faster when I did each step for all the characters in a row, rather than all the steps for one character, then all the steps for another, and so on. By the time I got familiar with the process, doing 20 characters in 2 hours was doable, and if I was smart with how I spent my free time, I could get 50 done in a day if there wasn't anything else I had to do. (Life as a college student is great for studying the Hanzi!)

I also made an important change in my study habits that helped me get Book 2 done in about 2 months, whereas Book 1 took about 6: I figured out how many Hanzi I would study each day of the week, and stuck to that schedule, taking no days off. It's not a bad idea to take a break on Saturday or Sunday, but I knew that for me, one day off could turn into one week off, and I wanted to get these done as soon as possible. My general strategy was 20 Hanzi on M T W Th and 30 on F, S and Sunday, but some days I would do more. The main point here is that doing a little study each day, for long enough, will get you through these books sooner than you thought. Do the math: even 10 Hanzi a day will let you learn these 3,036 characters in about 10 months, just a little longer than it took me -- because I had taken some big breaks along the way.

So just to summarize: find the most efficient way to write your stories and review the characters, and take as few breaks as possible, ideally none, if you'd like to get these books done as fast as possible.

Now, I didn't do much serious review until finishing Book 1, and then Book 2. This was possibly a mistake. On one hand, the great thing about Book 2 is that in the process of learning the characters, you're forced to review the Book 1 characters and primitives, since they show up in so many of the Book 2 Hanzi. In other words, in learning new characters, you naturally learn old ones. On the other hand, I've definitely forgotten a lot of what I learned because I didn't go back and review it. So far, of the 164 characters I reviewed on reviewingthehanzi.com, I've remembered 85 and forgotten 79, which comes out to about 51.8%. (Taking a Chinese class in which many of these characters are used probably has helped me remember ~500 characters that I would have otherwise forgotten, so if it weren't for Beginning Chinese class, I might have remembered only 30 or 40% of those.) For all I know, with more periodic review, that number might have been 90 or 95% for me. But I don't necessarily regret that I put all my concentration into learning new characters rather than reviewing old ones. Now that I'm finished with the characters, the review process can begin in earnest.

Finally, I'll give a word of realism about these books. Learning the characters is essential for learning Chinese words, but it's not sufficient for understanding Chinese by itself. That's because most Chinese words are two-character 'bigrams', and just like in chemistry, adding two characters together often gives an unexpected result. The word we use in beginning Chinese for 'like' is made up of 'joyful' and 'joyous' -- hence, without this book, you wouldn't know how to say 'to like.' You also wouldn't know that 'be like' + 'fruit' makes up the 'if' in one way of saying "if . . . then," or that 'tight' plus 'stretch' makes 'nervous,' or that 'high quick public path' is how you say 'highway'. (All of the words in single quotes are Heisig keywords.)

I believe that Heisig and Richardson were right to give one memorable keyword for each word, but to even begin to speak, write and read Chinese, you have to learn actual words, not just the characters, only some of which are full-fledged words in themselves. So while this book is an extremely important 'Step 1' in your Chinese learning process, you'll also need to undertake further steps to learn words and the sounds that put them together. (By the way, with some creativity, you can make stories to help remember character's sounds and tones).

I'm lucky enough to be taking a Chinese class this year, and as you could expect, my study of the RTH characters has been a massive help, since most of the characters are already familiar to me. At the same time, the Chines class is a massive help for my RTH vocab because (A) it lets me use those characters in real words, (B) teaches me the sounds for these characters, obviously necessary for using them in speech and typing with the pinyin method, and (C) makes me remember how to write the characters when quizzes and tests come up. So if you want to really put these characters to use, take a Chinese class somewhere. I'm the only senior in my beginning Chinese class but I'm having a blast. If it's impossible for you to take a class, you could at least pick up the Routledge Mandarin Chinese frequency dictionary, which gives you the top 5,000 words in their order.

OK, I think I've written for long enough. As you can see, I'm extremely happy I put in the effort to learn these characters. Even though my retention appears to be only about 50%, reviewing forgotten characters is so easy once you have a story in place to remember them. And it's definitely more fun than writing the same character over and over again, only to forget it later. I hope this helps you in your own study of Remembering the Hanzi. Good luck to you! --Kenneth

5,0 su 5 stelle A bit steep price, but worth every penny.

This book is a real gem. Even though Heisig stirred a heated debate whether one should really separate learning meanings of Chinese characters and learning their pronunciation, for me it's a question clearly answered.

The book is well done, recall of characters is amazing thanks to mnemonic stories. Learning the characters is a breeze. Comparing to university studies, this book teaches the characters much, much faster. Just for comparison - 4 semesters of Chinese characters lessons get you to 1500 characters. This book can take you halfway there in less time (with full time commitment, the writers promise 4-5 weeks, with just a couple hours of free time daily and more relaxed tempo it's 10-12 weeks).

The title of this book summarizes the whole thing pretty clearly - this course will teach you, how not to forget the meaning and writing of Chinese characters. Pronunciation, on the other hand, is untouched. You will have to find some other course of action for that.

I plan on buying the second part of this book as soon as I'm finished with this one, because knowing 3000 Chinese characters (even if it's just their meaning) is really something you can build on. The choice of selected vocabulary and characters is well explained in the preface of this book, citing good sources and providing the assurance you really learn the most relevant words.

The core of the book is pairing Chinese character with English meaning. The book, however, also provides 5 indexes:
1. hand-drawn characters in their order of appearance paired with Chinese pinyin pronunciation,
2. list of primitive elements used in the book
3. characters by their number of strokes
4. characters listed alphabetically by pronunciations in pinyin
5. characters listed alphabetically by English meaning keywords.

In conclusion, I'm glad I paid the price for this book. It's incredibly useful and practical.
