This second part of "Learning and Retaining Simplified Hanzi" introduces the meanings and writing of another 1500 of the most common 3000 Chinese characters. The time-tested, revolutionary method by James W. Heisig gently guides you into the imaginative world of visual memory, unlocking the realm of characters through small narratives and mnemonic elements that are not merely memorized but newly connected. This method is not a crutch, but a different way of walking: the tedious repetitions and writing exercises are eliminated. Thus, it is not only possible to learn the Chinese characters but also to engrave them sustainably in memory.
