This book is a culmination of constant edits and tweaks to the original

Chinese character frequency list we made back in 2011. The list itself is a

child of the Chinese Ministry of Education's official list of the most common

characters, and re-ordered based upon the extensive frequency data

produced by JunDa, Gent University, as well as HSK.

The keywords, character breakdowns and example words are a constant

work in progress and will be continually tweaked as this book and our data

evolves.

Thanks for purchasing this book and supporting our work to make

learning Mandarin Chinese more accessible, less scary, and more fun.
