Well, this book is an eye Opener...
Chines character evolved in one of the 4 ways :
(1) Pictographs : water, mountain, tree
(2) Ideographs : one, two , three, up , down
(3) Deterministic- phonetics : meaning-sounds eg mother sounds like horse ( ma- ma)
(4) Compound : 2 trees make a forest ( mu mu= lin )
Well if I learn 1 word a day, then after 3 years , i should have a thousand words in my vocab. Enough to read and understand a Chinese Daily !
