Very useful for quick lookups for Chinese language learners who forgot Chinese grammar, but do know English well.

Only book of it's kind out there for the language. Immediate must-buy.

Let's you look up something like 'Demonstrative Adjective' - you know how it works in English on the left page, and it tells you how it works in Chinese on the right page. Super easy to figure out what you're doing wrong when you know how it's said in English, but can't remember exactly how to do the same in Chinese.

(That said, if you don't even know 'future perfect tense', 'demonstrative adjective', etc., this book isn't going to help you as much at all because you don't even know where to start from in English.)

Only Simplified Chinese, so one star gone. Far too easy in modern computer word processing to make this a 'definitive' reference by including the Traditional Chinese text, so why they didn't is beyond me.

Not 100% useful as a standalone text for picking up appropriate use of Chinese however. eg. You'll learn the pronouns for I, he, she, they, but you won't be told that when addressing others, it's not always 'he', but often, 'title + last name' when talking about others, esp. those higher up or in an important position. So you can get into trouble without other reference books on Chinese.

This does a great job of explaining the grammar of Chinese

This does a great job of explaining the grammar of Chinese. One page is about the grammar concepts in Chinese and on the facing page is the same thing shown how it is done in English. It doesn't waste a lot of time and gets right to the point, so I find this really useful. This is not the first time that I have studied a language, so this succinct guide is very useful.

All learners of Chinese should own this title. Many of my grammatical questions were answered in a very simple way. No need to purchase detailed grammars (although I own many). With this book, you will understand in simple terms all rules in summary of what your detailed, overwhelming textbooks teach. Well, it does has some shortcomings, like no index, but in conjunction with your texts, this makes a nice resource for succinct explanations of grammatical matters.

This is a very good book, quite informative and educational. It not only helps with learning chinese, it also reeducates a person in their own english language.

Lovely book but unreadablke in Kindle form.

Look, this looks like a great book. I just ordered it as a physical book, even though I usually don't like buying physical books (a look around my house would explain why.) But this is one of those books where they basically made images of the pages. It's unreadable, illegible on a Kindle Fire HD, barely better on an iPad.
