(Complete Version) 3500 Commonly Used Chinese Characters and Phonetics
Generally speaking, learning 3000 Chinese characters (words> is enough for normal communication, and learning 1500 Chinese vocabulary is enough for others to understand what they are saying. The "List of Commonly Used Characters in Modern Chinese" consists of 3500 Chinese characters, covering 99.48% of the length of mainstream modern texts. So the Chinese language curriculum standard for nine-year compulsory education in China requires the recognition of around 3500 commonly used Chinese characters, which can be said to be very well founded. However, knowing a sufficient number of Chinese characters does not necessarily mean that a person's Chinese proficiency is high, as it also involves issues of word formation and sentence construction. After all, not everyone can understand the 760 word "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. When these monolingual words form thousands of different words and phrases, if they also contain allusions, it is the legendary feeling of "both familiar and unfamiliar". This is also the biggest headache for many foreigners when learning Chinese characters - knowing thousands of Chinese characters but still unable to understand an article. A normal adult can basically understand 3000-5000 Chinese characters. It seems that foreigners have to work hard to learn Chinese.
A foreigner said that he has lived in China for 20 years and knows more than 5000 Chinese characters. Now he can communicate with Chinese people normally, joke with Chinese people, and even quote famous words and phrases. He confidently said that when talking with Chinese people, they could not see that I was a foreigner unless I spoke a foreign language.
A-Z 2500 Commen Chinese characters
一般来说，汉语学会三千个字就可以正常交流，学会1500个汉语词汇，别人说话都可以听懂。 《现代汉语常用字表》是有3500个汉字，能够覆盖现代主流文本的99.48%的篇幅。 所以中国九年义务教育的语文课标里要求“认识常用汉字3500个左右”这个标准，可以说是十分有依据。 不过认识汉字的数量足够多，并不代表一个人的汉语水平一定很高，因为还涉及到构词和造句的问题。 毕竟仅有760字的《孙子兵法》不是所有人都读得懂，当这些单语素的字组成千上万不同的词和短语，要是还包含典故的话，那就是传说中“既熟悉又陌生”的感觉了。 这也是许多老外在学习汉字时最头疼的一件事——认识几千个汉字，但仍然读不懂一篇文章。 一个正常的成年人基本上都能看懂3000-5000个汉字，看来外国人要学习中文还得多多努力呀。 中国文化博大精深真不是短时间能学会的，有一个外国人他表示自己在中国生活了20年，认识了5000多个汉字，现在已经能和中国人正常交流了， 还能和中国人开开玩笑，甚至引用名言名句等等。他很自信的说，现在和中国人聊天他们根本看不出我是外国人，除非我说外语。
