Learning Chinese The Easy Way: Read & Understand The Symbols of Chinese Culture (English and Mandarin Chinese Edition)
"This is a great book it is really easy to learn to write Chinese with this one I highly recommend."--Matt Mitchell"Great  way to build a foundation... I've tried quite a few of the ### Chinese  characters books and while I did everything I was supposed to, they  didn't really stick. …This book really makes up for that. I got through  this book (Adventures in Mandarin Chinese: The Fox and The Goat) after  about three weeks and I learned not only the characters, but now have a  much better feel for sentence structure and phrasing. … it's a huge  help."--M. Williams
