This book is definitely user friendly. Each word is listed in chinese character, pinyin pronounciation guide and part of speech identification followed by 2 or more sentences. I found the sentences to be interesting and useful. Since the sentences are variable from simple to complex in their grammatical structure, they give a fair view of the uses of the words in this volume.

Additionally, I found the layout of the entries to be well designed and easy to find. An excellent addition to any serious or casual Chinese Language learner's reference collection.

This book contains more than 500 words and phrases commonly used in Chinese to show meanings like contrast, cause-effect, surprise, disagreement, conditionals, you name it, it's in this book. The explanations of meaning and usage are clear and easy to understand, and each entry is supported with examples written in traditional and simplified Chinese and pinyin.
