Fun with Chinese Characters (in three volumes) makes learning Chinese characters entertaining and memorable! Every page contains all the information needed to learn a Chinese character: the origin (etymology) of a character, its description, and an entertaining illustration by cartoonist Tan Huay Peng. Knowing the origin greatly simplifies the recognition of the characters. The cartoons that accompany each character are often comical and clever. Examples of how the character is used in compound phrases are offered. The first volume contains an in-depth introduction on the genesis of the characters. The third volume contains an index of all 480 characters and their location. The characters are written in traditional and simplified forms and include romanized pinyin pronunciation. Stroke orders, definitions, and example sentences make this book a valuable resource. Learning Chinese characters has never been so much fun!
