Customer Reviews

Excellent introduction
Very useful introduction to a lot of vocabulary. Ideal for my daughter who got a Chinese girl who we met on the train to help her with the pronounciations. She then could help with the english version. Colourful illustrations and very clear. All scenes very english though, might have been useful to include some Chinese scenes etc too

Learning Mandarin Chinese
This is a brilliant book to help learn Mandarin! I have been studying at college, and this book has been helpful in expanding my vocabulary. The pictures make it bright and interesting (which is always useful while studying). The Chinese characters and pinyin are given. :-)

One thousand chinese words
I have been deliberating with buying this book for some time, and finally took the plunge. Great book, i speak (almost) fluent chinese so this is a good book to share with my daugher who i am also encouraging to learn. The book is written in sections which allows learning through topics; home, school, hobbies, sea side, colours, numbers etc. Each page has characters and pinyin, no english but the pictures are very clear. If you only speak a little chinese the usborne online tools provide a listening program. I have a feeling this will become a very usefull book. Downsides; the index is written in chinese to english and not in sections so if your looking for a particular word you may find it difficult. Nonetheless, a great book especially for use with multi-lingual children.
