Reading and Writing Chinese: Third Edition, Hsk All Levels (2,349 Chinese Characters and 5,000+ Compounds)

I have an older version of this book that has been my most valuable Chinese reference tool for many years. This updated version is superior in many ways! First, the Characters are larger with a style that is easier to read. Besides referencing similar looking characters that could easily be confused, the order has been aranged so that characters with similar elements are often placed together. This revision includes more combination character words and is geared toward helping those preparing to take the HSK proficiency test. Both my old versions and this newer one share the traditional character when it is different. (The Traditional characters book edition shares the Simplified when different.) Both puts the most useful and frequently used words ahead of lesser used words. Both have the ability to look up words by sound or by stroke count. I am very glad I got this updated copy! I would not have known about this updated version, had I not insisted that a young girl with great language ambition, learning from her grandmother, needed this reference work. Initially I got it for her, then realized I wanted one too!

Thanks.

J'adore.
