Better Chinese Dictionary is for use by elementary and secondary students in their study of Chinese as a second or foreign language. Definitions as well as sample phrases and sentences are provided for 690 Chinese characters that are most commonly encountered in everyday communication. This collection of characters encompasses characters and words learned in three Better Chinese textbook series: My First Chinese Words, My First Chinese Reader, and Discovering Chinese. The character included in this dictionary also matches the list of high-frequency characters as designated by the official tests of HSK (Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi) . Six categories of information are provided for each character: 1. Pinyin Pinyin spelling and pronunciation; for characters with multiple pronunciations, the most frequently encountered pronunciations are presented. 2. English Definition Meaning and usage are described in English. 3. Composition The strokes and the character radical are listed to help explicate the structure of the written character. 4. Stroke Order Stroke sequence is illustrated to show correct written form. 5. Sample Usage Sample phrases and sentences are included to provide a basic understanding of the meaning as well as the usage of each character. 6. Extra Tips Interesting stories about the origin and evolution of Chinese characters are also included to add fun and efficacy in learning. There are two ways to look up each character: (1) by alphabetical order according to Pinyin spelling; (2) by the number of strokes with characters that have the fewest strokes appearing first. All characters are entered in simplified version. Whenever a character exists in both simplified and traditional form, its traditional form is presented in brackets next to the simplified form.
