    Even as a Chinese, I am shocked to learn them~ Here a lot of Characters are not used so often.

    Interesting.

      Hi 土木坛子, when you say “a lot”, I don’t agree. In this lesson, only 峨 and 娥 are less frequent. The range of characters I chose are from the most frequent currently used 3800 characters.

      However, you just gave me a good idea, I can mark out the less frequent characters so people can be selective when they’re learning.

    Besides 我 and 饿, all the rest are second-tone, so at least THAT is easy to remember! :D

      That’s what I was hoping for :-) I wouldn’t recommend a beginner to jump into this lesson. It is build for a learner at least had a few hundreds character base and some basic knowledge on Chinese to expand, review, compare and reinforce his/her memory on characters.
