I recently decided to delve into the Chinese language and kind of just fell in love with the entire culture... prompting me to take a trip to China. I didn't want to go there without a better grasp on the Chinese language so "Survival Chinese for Tours and Business Trips" proved to be a smart and practical way for me to dive right in and get the basic language knowledge to begin my trek around China. The book has a solid foundation of language education lessons that address all of the pertinent aspects of speaking and listening to Chinese... from pronunciation to everyday words and phrases that will be needed. I found the book to be a quick and easy way for me to get a grasp on the Mandarin language and would definitely recommend it to those who are visiting China or simply want to get a better grasp of conversational Chinese.
