One Meaning Per Hanzi

Your not alone, this comes up fairly often. Cut and paste of my response to the other thread:

It’s not what you’re after but just study them outside HH since HH just doesn’t handle them at all. I honestly found it wasn’t that big a deal. HH won’t teach you to read or to talk - you need to do those activities yourself. When doing those activities, I found you’ll learn all the other pronunciations/uses of characters basically automatically.

Same with the other meanings - lots of characters also have multiple meanings, some of which have nothing to do with the HH key word. You just have to actually use the language and it’ll sort itself out.

So it’s annoying, but also not a huge blocker. Like Joe said - HH paired with DuChinese is awesome for this (and just studying in general).
