English-Chinese & Chinese-English Word-to-Word Dictionary: Suitable for Exams (Chinese and English Edition)

A breakthrough bilingual dictionary that makes finding the right Chinese character a breeze When he surveyed his students, author Candido Sesma found that only two out of 300 used a Chinese dictionary. Their main obstacle is how existing dictionaries are organized; either a user needs to know the radical of a character, how to recognize or count writing strokes, or how a character is pronounced. In this Chinese Dictionary and Guide to 20,000 Essential Words the author overcomes this problem with his unique broken marks method. Each character is comprised of different marks separated by a physical space or sharp change of direction at the end of a mark. Count these marks, and you can locate the Chinese character you need in less than a minute. This dictionary and guide will also be a perfect complement to your AP Chinese studies.
