Chinese words are maybe one of the most complex written languages in the world. They can be broken up into two classes: Simplified and Traditional.
Classic
Chinese words are the authentic written form. They are now still utilized in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Nonetheless the Simplified version is used by the mainland Chinese. As a result Simplified Chinese words are now more typical and a little easier to learn, especially when it involves the writing aspect.
I personally have not begun to learn the best way to write Chinese words as I'm totally aware it is a lifetime project. As soon as you begin studying the way to write them you can't halt, otherwise you will almost certainly forget and all that time invested mastering how to compose Chinese may be wasted.
Nevertheless, reading can be a different story. I can study and realize about 80% of something I study. Nonetheless I only learn about 5-10% of the 10,000+ written Chinese words that exist. This is in which I believe the trick, or key is. When learning how you can read Chinese you must learn the characters in order of their frequency. This really is the most effective factor I ever did when learning the way to read Chinese.
It is possible to get a "Chinese Frequency Dictionary" as I did. The one I purchased was the top 500 phrases. It was a green guide I received from Amazon, and it is really amazing. It presents every Chinese word or character in order of frequency. The initial word or character is "de" (pinyin). It's not a word as this kind of, much more of a grammar character to denote ownership. Comparable to our apostrophe s " 's " as in "Mom's". Chinese would say "Mom de" to denote "Mom's".
Anyhow, by mastering only the initial a hundred characters you are going to be able to read an amazing 30-40%. Even so, by understanding only a few after which taking a look at a Chinese book and recognizing a large percent of everything you see, you are going to uncover your enthusiasm ranges increasing and also the desire to maintain going becomes robust.
I've to admit now that I've discovered about 1000 my determination has dropped a lot because at this time the progress level genuinely begins to slow down. Right after 1000 the frequency with the characters actually starts to drop off and you discover oneself learning characters you do not see so often which tends to make your progress seem slow. From 1000 onward you will discover you actually have to drive on your own to maintain going. But do not allow that put you off.
I advise taking a basic
Chinese word text from a book or something. Discover your first ten or so characters and then highlight these Chinese words in that text. When you learn much more phrases go back to that text and highlight the new phrases you understand. Little by little but certainly you will begin to understand an increasing number of that same text that at first you don’t know what it meant.
