5.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable for those travelling to China
I've recently had reason to review a vast quantity of teach-yourself-chinese literature and this is one of my favorites. The first thirty pages or so give a wonderful concise summary of the language's grammar which I've found invaluable. The majority of it is organized as a E-C/C-E dictionary, with many phrases and cultural descriptions near definitions of important...

Good, basic, single source. Useful and practical

This review is from: Mandarin Phrasebook: A Rough Guide Phrasebook (Phrase Book, Rough Guide) (Mandarin Chinese Edition) (Paperback)
I've recently had reason to review a vast quantity of teach-yourself-chinese literature and this is one of my favorites.The first thirty pages or so give a wonderful concise summary of the language's grammar which I've found invaluable. The majority of it is organized as a E-C/C-E dictionary, with many phrases and cultural descriptions near definitions of important words. It makes a passable dictionary, and includes character, pinyin and an 'intuitive phonetic' for everything in chinese. It's small enough to take on a trip too. Highly recommended.

This is a solid phrasebook for anyone who is not well versed in Chinese. While no single phrasebook or dictionary can do everything, this is the best single source we've found. It has the three necessary requirements - easy-to-read, Mandarin characters for all definitions (so you can show the non-English speaker), and it fits into a pocket. It should be accompanied by a basic dictionary that has the three necessary requirements, if you can find one. (We are still struggling) Useful and practical for everyday use for the business person or visitor.
