HSK 단어: 중국어 한자 암기 단어장 ZOUXING

Have you started studying Chinese but are you finding it difficult to memorize Hanja?

Instead of blindly memorizing characters, try memorizing them while understanding why they have their specific shapes and meanings!

■ Learn why Hanja look the way they do

Hanja become a little easier to remember if you examine their shape and meaning together.

For example, 哈 (Ha) is a character formed by combining 口 (Kou, meaning mouth) and 合 (He). 口 represents meanings related to the mouth, while 合 represents the pronunciation.

As you learn the components of a character one by one in this way, even characters you see for the first time will gradually become familiar.

■ Review before you forget

ZOUXING utilizes the FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) algorithm to determine the words and timing for review.

Since it adjusts the review interval based on how well you remember the words, you don't need to repeat every single word exactly the same way.

■ Knowing radicals makes learning Hanja a little easier

Knowing the radicals of a Hanja helps you guess the meaning of the character. For example, characters like 江 (river) and 海 (sea), which contain the radical 氵 (water), are both related to water.

Try finding commonalities among Chinese characters through their radicals like this. Even characters that seemed complex will gradually become easier to understand.

Try studying Chinese by understanding it rather than simply memorizing it, so that you can remember it for a long time!
