Review of '250 Essential Chinese Characters' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Learning 250 characters with this book means you will actually learn thousands of words. Each character is described with a short summary, stroke order, radical, the traditional form and lots of examples and compound forms.
For example. Character 32; 再 [zài], means 'again'. But it also teaches you 再次 (once more), 再见 (see you again, goodbye) and 再三 (again and again), etc.
