Frequently Asked Questions

What currency are the prices?

All prices are listed in USD.

Do you still sell and ship physical posters?

No. All of our products are digital downloads. Unfortunately, since the pandemic shipping physical posters around the world has become prohibitively expensive. However switching to digital only products allows us to keep prices lower and customers can get access to their purchases immediately.

How is the list ordered?

Our list is based on the official list of common characters suggested by the Chinese MOE. We have cross referenced this list with a bunch of other frequency lists available online (usually produced by analyzing popular texts and online chats). We also took into account HSK characters, and currently our First 1000 list covers all the characters used in level 1-4 of HSK. We then went through the list by hand to ensure there were no mistakes and choose the correct pinyin, Zhuyin and keyword for each character.

The list is ordered by frequency on our poster files, however our reference sheets also provide an index of the list in pinyin alphabetical order.

Do you have a physical store?

We are online only.
