You will surprise yourself with your ingenuity and your ability to guess correctly, based on the sound logic learnt from this book. The book is divided into to main parts. Units 1-4 introduce you to the origins of the Chinese script, explain how characters and words are formed and the basic rules in writing them. Unit 4 ends with a mini test to enable you to check your progress so far. Units 5-9 introduce you to real-life situations such as reading signs, maps, notices and even menus. You will be able to write numbers, dates, tell the time, and fill out simple forms. There is a comprehensive test at the end of Unit 9. Unit 10 explains how to use a Chinese-English dictionary and Chinese word-processing packages with concrete examples. There is also a brief introduction to Chinese idioms.

For a book for beginners it suffers from small size fonts for characters. I also found it to be perhaps a little too advanced for a total novice – especially for one who had no or little knowledge of Chinese language. It suffered from some degree of character translation straight to English bypassing pinyin. The book also included some traditional (complex full form) characters that perhaps could have been omitted. Overall an example of a language book written by a non native speaker. ( )

Most people take one look at the Chinese script and say 'Oh no, I couldn't possibly learn that, it's much too complicated' or 'I'm no good at drawing so I wouldn't be able to write Chinese'.
