Abstract
Of the many tasks which face the student of Chinese,
mastering the Chinese writing system is one of the most formidable.
To learn to read Chinese, the student must accomplish several things. He must learn to recognize individual characters and to associate them with their proper Chinese
sounds and native language equivalents; he must be able to
distinguish one character from another; he must be able to identify words or combinations composed of two or more characters, where the meaning of the word or phrase may be different from that of the individual characters themselves;
and finally he must be able to read groups of words, phrases
sentences, and paragraphs, so as to comprehend the overall
meaning of characters in context.
