Chinese Words
Knowing your Chinese words is the most important thing when learning Chinese language. If you know very few Chinese words, it is difficult to hold a proper conversation with another person. Even if you can’t hold a proper conversation in Chinese, if you know many Chinese vocabularies, you will somehow be able to roughly understand what the Chinese speaker is saying by piecing together the Chinese words you have picked up.
Master few or know many
Is it better to master 1000 Chinese words or learn 5000 Chinese words? Well, it depends on which 1000 Chinese words you are learning. If you are learning 1000 most frequently used Chinese words that have high frequency rate, you would probably be able to understand better than the person who has learned 1000 least used Chinese words. That being said, it is still better to have a longer vocabulary list than a shorter one. The more Chinese words you know, the more you can understand what you are reading and what the other person is saying.
