Organised Vocabulary Lists

[Hong Yang (洪洋)]

Hey,

Does anyone know where I might find some comprehensive vocab lists that are already organised under categories such as:

Animals

Fruit & Veg

Parts of the body

Countries of the world

etc...

I am up to a point where I know some of the words in each category but I would like to learn the words for more obscure animals, fruits etc...

I would also be interested in a full list of all the exclamations that keep appearing such as 喂, 咳, 呀 etc.

Many thanks,

洪洋

Try the attached (UTF-8 format). It's from Kingsoft's PowerWord and unfortunately has mistakes.

Thanks Gato,

This will be very useful. I'm guessing that the list from Power Word was put together manually... or is there some kind of export function on Power Word that I don't know about?

Thanks,

洪洋

Just copy & paste from PowerWord's word list.

You say there are mistakes... could you be more specific?

I find lists like this very interesting to build vocabulary, but I'd like to be sure as to what I'm studying.

That page is excellent. For people thinking of following the link, it has pictures, characters, pinyin and sound for a whole range of different vocabulary topics. Well worth checking out.

that site doesnt work for me.

Also, how about lists for most popular verbs, most popular nouns, most popular adjectives.

I see that Delcan software has a few lists in .xwf format, but you have to buy their software to use it, and I already have Plecodict.

Thanks in advance

that site doesnt work for me.

Yes, it seems to be down now. It doesn't work either with or without a proxy.

Attached is a list of Russian geographical names I made from some Wikipedia articles in Unicode format in Chinese simplified and Russian, sorry no pinyin.

If you're not interested in Russian names, you might be interested to see, which characters are used to transliterate foreign names. To see the reading, you might want to plug into one of the popular online or off-line transliteration tools. For meanings (unless you can read Russian) of individual words you can do a search in Chinese Wikipedia and then open the English page.
