嘉 雯 的 中 文 詞
匯:一 般 詞 匯 -- 乙部 (My Chinese syllabary:
General vocabulary, section 1)
This is basically the vocabulary that I learned on my first trip to Taiwan (which was during the summer of 1996). Sorry that so much of it is so basic; that was the level my Mandarin was at at that time. Also, sorry that so many of the characters are so hard to read. If you'd like, I can either make the characters larger on this page (in the HTML, that would mean), or you could try to view them in a larger typeface, I guess.
