A useful guide to everyday Chinese idioms and sayings. Well over 2000 idioms have been selected and each one, written in Chinese, is provided with a phonetic alphabet rendering (to help with pronunciation), followed by concise English translation.
An excellent and enlightening book with a very original concept. Each page is set out clearly, concisely and with obvious thought to the reader. It is often really very difficult to grasp the complexities of the chinese language from a dictionary or direct translation- this book is enormously helpful in doing this. A wonderful read! :)
