Looking for study material

[Guest guest]

What would ya'll suggest to a student who is studying and trying to

memorize the different points, a small stand up model or a large wall

chart? Also the books and different papers I have with the spelling

of the point do not include the tones, what study material could I get

that would have the different words with the correct tone marks and

where would be the best place to order from?

 

Thank You,

TaMara

I believe Blue Poppy offers a tape of how to pronounce the names of

the acupuncture points. You can Google for bluepoppy.com or Bob

Flaws, and get to the website.

 

I have their tape that gives the correct pronounciation of both the

Chinese names of herbs and the pharmaceutical names. It's been very

helpful.

 

They also have a book on learning medical Chinese for readers who

want to go that far. For readers who really want to get into the

language, you'll also need a pinyin Chinese-English dictionary. The

Flaws book will teach the reader how to use the radical index as

well as the pinyin index in the dictionary. Since the words in

pinyin Chinese - English dictionaries are alphabetized by the pinyin

names (oomplete with tonal marks) readers usually don't need the

pinyin index unless it's to cut the search time.

 

However knowing how to use a radical index allows a reader to go

from the Chinese character to the pinyin and then the English. The

pinyin index allows the reader to go from the pinyin to the Chinese

character to the English.

 

The way the radical index works is that one learns to count brush

strokes in the character.
