I am very happy with this book. I am currently trying to learn Mandarin before returning to china this year for a second trip. This book is very helpful for beginners to get the basics you need when traveling to a new place. The book provides pronunciation guides and has both Pinyin and characters as you go along. i use this as supplemental material to actual language learning course work and it is great since it gives you the more useful vocabulary that you don't usually get in a class or through online tutorials.
