HSK5 has 2500 Chinese words to be learned all made up of one or more characters. I want them grouped in this way so i can learn them more easily using mnemonics. Any instruction as to what books to read or how to even begin writing the algorithm is welcome. i have no experience in writing algorithms but am willing to learn.
