List of characters by tones ?

[Petit_Scarabe]

Hi all,

I've come accross many lists of frequent chinese characters. All of them are sorted by frequency, or in some rare cases by stroke numbers.

So I was wondering if there was any list of, say, the 2000 most frequent chinese characters organized by tones; the idea being that it might be easier to learn for "tone-challenged" people like myself ...

Thanks

easier to learn for "tone-challenged" people

Do you mean you find it challenging to hear what tones a word uses or do you mean you forget which tones a certain word has. If the latter, I have found it helfpul to write out the pinyin or focus on pinyin. It becomes a bit like Spanish that uses accents to denote stress and therefore becomes part of the word. That has helped me anyway.
