Learning Chinese characters is, in my opinion, the most time-consuming and difficult part of the language. Well, it’s not that difficult but it takes tons of dedication. Learning just a few new characters each day can break the seemingly impossible goal into bite-sized pieces. Every day I will post 5 new characters, each with a stroke order flash movie; pinyin with a link to the character’s page; and a link to search results including the character. The characters are loosely ordered by frequency.
Note: Some additional pronunciations for 多音字 characters may be omitted.

We just saw that one of our partners, Unihan, has a very informative site about Chinese characters. (It’s mostly in Chinese but not too difficult to navigate.) If you are new to Chinese, I suggest you start by checking out the basic strokes page. More advanced learners, or learners of more than one Asian language might want to check out the character comparison area.

For all of you masochists out there preparing for the HSK, we added some vocab lists that you can study from for levels one through four. There are about 9,000 words in total, but currently you cannot grab the entire list, so you will have take them 40 at a time if you want ‘em. We will get to work on letting you grab a whole list after the upgrade is released next week.

At the end of this month we will be releasing an upgrade of our service with some new content and search engine changes. We’ve been working hard on this for a while now, so it will be great to finally let you all see how it works. I’ve played around with it a little already and I am very happy with the new stuff, especially the content.
We are adding 4 newly licensed dictionaries: Chinese-English, English-Chinese, Chinese-Chinese, and English-English. The Chinese-English content has great definitions and integrates well with our existing entries. We changed the search logic a little to make it more accessible and eliminate some of the guess work on the search result page.
I’ll spread the full details on release and you’ll be able to try it out for yourselves. Have a nice weekend.
