get this! and get the one on grammar, too. this writer is efficient, packing the basis of Mandarin into two pamphlets, taking the fear out of learning this important language and the pain out of starting. start with this, keep it, and your apprehension will turn to appetite. It breaks the barriers of starting to learn and gives you a hand to hold as you progress.but the pamphlets are just as good for those who only want a basis of understanding what Mandarin is about. i recommend and give these pamphlets to parents of children who are learning Mandarin and to people who, because of travel, profession, whatever, are going to come into greater contact with the language.Americans (and I'm one) often think Mandarin, which uses unique characters for whole words, is less efficient than the English system. if i had written this review in Mandarin, i could have fit it all into a tweet.
I purchased this to aid in learning Mandarin, a language that is difficult all by itself. I took off a star because it has so much information in really small print. I also didn't like how some of the sheet was organized. It has Pinyin but there is also traditional and new characters for SOME of the words. I was confused by the coloring too. All in all, I think it is a good reference for learning and I hope someday to become proficient.
I like it, there are a total of 6 pages and they cover the most important vocabulary and phrases. Text is a little bit too small and it hurts my eyes. I rather have 20% less information but with larger text size.
This is a good reference to have. Lot's of helpful vocabulary.However, the print is VERY SMALL. With my 50+ year old eyes, I need stronger than usual reading glasses to read it.
the most difficult thing about learning a language is sometimes remembering the vocabulary especially when you do not have someone to practice with on a daily basis I think this little chart is very helpful I keep it inside my binder and it allows me to go back and forth and remember even the simple things just so I can carry on a conversation. I am trying I want to surprise my in laws with trying to learn some basics. Sounds very funny with my East Tennessee accent. Because they are taking my spouse and I to Taiwan they want to show us where they grew up.
As a student studying Mandarin I found this tool very helpful. If you are serious about speaking Mandarin then I highly recommend adding this product to your language learning toolbox.
Very handy and useful vocabulary. It would have helped if they could have offered the anglicized PinYin. Luckily I just wanted this for review as I already learned the Taiwan " bopomofo" method. Google the PinYin pronunciation and you'll find this quickstudy perfect.
I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my brother, who is learning Chinese. He really liked it! It's pretty simple--just some laminated sheets--but it's logically laid out and helpful for those who like quick references. I was very happy with my purchase.
