I have always loved languages and been fascinated by east-foreign languages such as Japanese, Korean and Chinese but these are the languages I have been struggling learning the most.When I want to learn a language I want to be able to remember the words fast, recall them with ease and being able to communicate with native people of that particular language on a very basic level.Chinese in this case, turned out to be very difficult and challenging for me, since it is just not like any other language with simple grammar and pronunciation. Chinese has a whole new sign-alphabet that needs to be learned and I have been looking on Amazon where this learning process is simple to follow and learn from.I have tried various books from Amazon but none of them had this very simple structure as this book has. It uses Flash Cards with clear pictures, Chinese signs and you should pronounce each word. When I found this book I thought it would just be like any other "learn Chinese the easy way"-book that turns out to be just a pain in the ass when trying to learn the material.But I was WRONG. I was dead wrong. This book is extremely simple to follow; it has lots of useful words for daily Chinese communication, it is easy to recall the words once you have learned them and it is very fun for me now when I practice it and tries it on with my Chinese friend.She is native Chinese and thinks this is a great book for us beginners who really want to learn something PRACTICAL from a "learn a new language"-book instead of pure fluff-talk.She highly recommends me to keep using this book for future reference and learning the Chinese language, and how can a native Chinese be wrong? If a native Chinese recommends a book for learning Chinese, then the author for this book must REALLY be onto something here!I highly recommend this book to ANYONE who wants to finally learn some daily, useful Chinese words for basic communication with native Chinese people. You'll be glad that you did because I know I am! (and she is too)
