nerdish Posted April 28, 2014 at 07:24 AM Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 at 07:24 AM Hi, Would anyone be willing to share their character lists from either DeFrancis' "Beginning Chinese Reader" or TK Ann's "Cracking the Chinese Puzzles"? I'm looking to import them to a SRS flashcard program or Skritter to be studied in the sequence in which the characters are introduced in the books. Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yadang Posted April 29, 2014 at 06:01 AM Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 at 06:01 AM There's also T.K. Ann's Table 5 in flashcard format. It's in a text document so it'll work for both Pleco and Anki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post realmayo Posted April 30, 2014 at 09:01 PM Popular Post Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 at 09:01 PM Here, have all the characters from the TK Ann books: first number is the chapter number, second number is the character number. No guarantees there aren't mistakes in there, certainly there are a few characters I couldn't type and just wrote an X or something. But hope it's useful. tkalist.txt 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatarik Posted May 1, 2014 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 at 04:03 PM Thanks realmayo, will make a flashcard deck out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdish Posted May 2, 2014 at 12:23 PM Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 at 12:23 PM Thanks so much Realmayo! Will definitely be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatarik Posted May 11, 2014 at 09:25 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 at 09:25 AM Solid table! Just a note: I've noticed 7 characters were redundant in the list. 17 1510 踊 17 1511 鲬 * 20 2013 龄 20 2014 龄 20 2138 警 20 2139 警 26 2974 赛 26 2975 赛 30 3653 屣 30 3654 屣 36 4912 糜 36 4913 糜 41 5550 箨 41 5551 箨 *(was 踊 but I changed it to its actual value in TK Ann: 鲬) I just have but the 1st volume of TK Ann's books, so I couldn't check and correct the values after character #1898 :-/ @nerdish: if you have the abridged version, you might be able to update the 6 valued I couldn't amend :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdish Posted May 13, 2014 at 01:35 PM Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 at 01:35 PM Thanks for the headsup. I think if you upload these to pleco or perhaps anki, it will be able to figure out the duplicates and you can choose to do away with them, then export them out as a new list. I started work on the DeFrancis reader but haven't had a chance to simultaneously go through the TK Ann book as planned due to job interview preparations. Tatarik, have you kept up with your studies thus far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatarik Posted May 13, 2014 at 02:03 PM Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 at 02:03 PM True, there are very few duplicates so it is easy to amend. The whole point is to use the flashcards with the book anyways.. @nerdish: I've haven't started using TK Ann after I left it at chapter 8,.. real-mayo list actually helped understanding better what to expect. I think TK Ann's method is definitely worth it if you go the distance. Several high-frequency characters are indeed coming late down the list. I'm going to make a flashcards deck out of it (probably with the first 5 compound word for each), but more importantly, it's just about sitting down and going through the 'puzzles' one by one. So far, my method is to copy each one to print them into my memory, and learn the corresponding words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
