The Pocket Interpreter: Chinese. : Lydia Chen & Ying Bian

In China, familiar signs in English are rare.
Even the independent spirit soon learns that without language
skills one requires help to engage in the most basic activities.
This handy companion begins with a brief survey of essentials
to prep the new student of Chinese on forming basic sentences.
Alongside the sentences are explanations about many unique
aspects of China, from local snacks to Chinese operas.
Some special features are:
simplified lessons on "What You"ll Hear" and "Signs",
plus an extensive, targeted English-Chinese dictionary.

In a bright, easy format with humorous drawings
for popular expressions, The Pocket Interpreter
is a quick cure for language woes in China.
