One of the common mistakes beginners make when learning Chinese characters is to focus on learning individual characters.
The vast majority of Chinese words are actually two characters long and the individual character's meanings can shift depending on what word the character is in.
We've prepared graphics of the 100 most common characters and the most commonly used words that use these characters to help you learn characters in context.
Most Common Chinese Characters
We've carefully prepared lists of the most common Chinese characters to help guide your study of written Chinese. Did you know that the most common 1500 characters make up 95% of all written Chinese? Despite there being more than 50,000 characters thankfully a few thousand will get you to literacy.
Few thousand still sound like a lot? Don't worry too much - part of Sensible Chinese's mission is to make the characters more understandable and easier to handle. Even, dare I say it, fun!
