WTF Chinese Characters

By Marshall McArthur

WTF Chinese Characters is a self-study guide to basic Chinese characters, both simplified and traditional. The introductory section is for true character novices and introduces approximately 250 basic characters (showing stroke orders). WTF Chinese Characters systematically shows how basic character components combine to form a wider range of characters. WTF Chinese Characters also contains reference sections that give a guide to Chinese radicals, characters arranged by semantic similarity, and a visual "flash card" reference section that shows how common components form other characters. The book's mnemonic writing practices provide a guide to help memorize approximately 600 characters, and the eye catching cover allows WTF Chinese Characters to serve as an attractive coffee table book even if you never memorize the characters.
