Ping-gam
Go creates a dictionary ideal for the western student. Characters
are looked up using the English word of the radical of a character
instead of the number of strokes or the pronunciation of the character.
Go also includes expansive exercises and indices designed to help
the student master recognizing and memorizing the radicals. The dictionary
features:
- How to use the dictionary
- Explanation of how to locate and identify the
radical of a character
- The ancestral forms (etymology) of the 214 radicals.
Fortunately, the 43 most common radicals appear in 75% of the
5,000 characters.
- Practice exercises to locate and identify the
most common radicals appearing in characters found on a walk through
Chinatown or on a Chinese menu
- Rapid access index of the English names of radicals
- Index of the simplified characters
- Dictionary of 5,000 Chinese characters, sorted
by the English name of the radical, with pronunciation, “Pinyin”
spelling, and English definition
