bought as a joke present for a friend, item was a little tattered but this was made clear before purchasing so wasn’t a problem, item was as described, reasonable price and quick delivery 🙂

This is ok if you are a tourist. However if you want to learn chinese it may problems with pinyin later on.
by Lovely Jubbly
This is an inexpensive guide to Chinese phrases but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re learning the language as the pronunciation guides don’t use Pinyin and there are no Chinese characters (trust me, if you’re going to China you need to be able to recognise at least some characters!)
It’s not easy to find the specific phrase you’re after (for that I recommendÂ
Mandarin Phrasebook: With 3500-word two-way dictionary (Lonely Planet Phrasebook)
) but (at the risk of contradicting myself) if you are studying the language it makes a good rapid reminder – so if you know you’re going to be shopping, look at the section on shopping and you’ll get a quick bit of revision. You’ll just have to ignore the non-Pinyin!
It’s not a bad book, but it’s dull to look at and either not comprehensive enough, or not simple enough. Worth a punt at the price.
