Re: systematic isolated character study
The HSK Advanced test (an extremely challenging test to say the least) uses about 3000 characters

Re: systematic isolated character study

Re: systematic isolated character study
I use mnemosyne (http://mnemosyne-proj.sourceforge.net/), some people prefer anki

Re: systematic isolated character study
