This Kindle flashcard book for Mandarin Chinese was a decent find.My wife is from China and we return every year for a visit. I have yet to really learn Mandarin, but I promised I would make an attempt for next time. Among my many Mandarin book purchased, I got this one as a quick brain teaser tool.It is what it promises. It is a flashcard kindle book that starts off by showing you a Chinese symbol, followed by a picture, english translation, and Pinyin version of the symbol.That said, there are some drawbacks to 101 Learn and Read Chinese Flash Cards.First off is mispelling/grammer in the introduction.A few flashcards are missing pictures.One, the van card, had a picture of a truck.I can live with that though.A recommendation that may halp others, is begin with with how to pronounce the tone's. I knew these already, but it may help the people not familiar.Other than the small gripes, the flashcards were useful. I would recommend for begginers, but make sure you read up on how to pronounce first.
