Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Mandarin Chinese or other regional dialects might require Olympic-level linguist gymnastics. It takes only a finger, however, with a handy new pocket-sized phrase book. Just point to illustrations of common items -- toilet paper, cash, water, sunscreen, bus and dozens of menu items -- and some connecting phrases, to get your message across. --Kim Kunkle, The Oregonian
From the Publisher
We designed 'the book we wished we had' while traveling China. After a 2 months there, we returned home with a newfound appreciation for foreign language, and the difficulties found in not speaking one. Our experience in China inspired us to found Me No Speak, and design a series of language companions that break the mold of traditional travel guidebooks and phrasebooks, which often fall short of being helpful.

Sense of nonsensical,
This review is from: Me No Speak: China (Paperback)
In a place where the nonsensical makes sense, this perfectly-sized
travel helper can get you through many frustrating circumstances. When I wanted to order vegetarian noodles or find batteries for my camera, I just pointed at the picture. Since I was traveling through China without a tour and without knowing the language, general communication was pretty difficult and Me No Speak became an amazing asset for everyday situations.

Me No Speak-Essential book for traveling in China,
By
This review is from: Me No Speak: China (Paperback)
Small book- BIG idea. Frustration can ruin a trip:eating,navigating train stations-airports-buses, finding a bathroom, these are all essential to survival in a foreign location and ensuring that your trip is fun, not frustrating! This little book, little as in it fits in the pocket of your jeans, solves all these problems!
I am a travel professional and this is my favorite gift to my clients when they leave for China. Don't go to China without Me No Speak! Gwen Books Lifestyle Management

Way Better than a Phrasebook,
This review is from: Me No Speak: China (Paperback)
I used this book way more often than my phrasebook, not only because it's just easier to point at pictures than trying to speak Chinese, but because its size is convenient -- I carried it around in my back pocket almost every day. Jumping into a cab, walking down the street, or at a restaurant table, it's just easier and faster to ask a question with this book (especially important for 'not spicy' and 'no meat'). I highly recommend it!
