TOFCL:The complete list with English definitions

華語文能力測驗 [huá yǔwén nénglì cèyàn] TOCFL In Taiwan they have the TOFCL test or as it is officially named:Test Of Chinese as a Foreign Language. (http://www.tw.org/tocfl/) which is Taiwan’s national standardized test for Chinese language proficiency.

I have based my list on the list published on the website for Steering Committee for the Test Of Proficiency –Huayu: http://www.sc-top.org.tw/english/download.php. Then I put all words into one sheet,added spaced and numbered pinyin definitions (based on the original),added Simplified Hanzi and ran a spell-check on the English definitions (there are still a number of English words that I have no idea what they mean,hehe).

The vocabulary list is quite comprehensive with some 8800 words (with a number of duplicates as the original lists different word forms separately –for example 安全  / ānquán –which can be either Verb or Noun and is therefore listed twice). The list also reflects some of the differences in the Mandarin spoken in Taiwan and the official Mandarin on the Mainland. Obviously,the traditional characters are used in Taiwan while the Simplified in Mainland China. More interestingly,there are characters that are pronounced differently while others have a different meaning.

The attached Excel sheet can be manipulated with different filters and sort methods and a learner of Chinese can upload the file into his or her favorite Chinese learning tool. I will include the vocabulary in my upcoming flashcard app iHanzi for the iPhone.

I hope this will help students or other app developers out there. I aim to keep these lists open-source so that they can be shared and improved over time. If you update the file then please do so with Review function on and send back to me and I will re-publish any improvements.

Tip:Use your CTRL+F or Command+F function to search for a word.

Also a big thanks to the developers at StickyNote –the best iPhone Mandarin flashcard app out there –for pointing me in the right way.
