Publisher's summary
Have you been wanting to learn Chinese but can’t find an effective way to increase your vocabulary?
Are you tired of boring textbooks containing complicated grammar that you don’t really need to get started?
Would you like to learn the Chinese language fast by taking a more practical approach?
If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, then you’re in the right place!
This audiobook contains 2500 of the most common Chinese words so that you can get a head start compared to those still learning Chinese in a more traditional way.
Usually, Chinese textbooks rely on learners to learn the characters. But here, Pinyin is introduced, allowing learners to quickly remember every word.
As you will discover, these words will be more than enough for your travels, and you’ll start to be able to have conversations in Chinese.
This audiobook is well-organized with basic words making up part one of the audiobook so you can use those simpler words as building blocks for part two of the audiobook, which contains words that will increase your Chinese skills even further.
Ready to give it a go? Start right away! You’ll feel the difference, and everyone else will notice, too!

One of the toughest languages to learn, it’s never been easy to find story material in Chinese.… However, we’ve created a book that will change all of that. Language learning isn’t just about lessons or practice – it’s about consistency. You may have found the best teacher in town or the most incredible learning app around, but if you don’t put all of that knowledge to practice, you’ll soon forget everything you’ve obtained. This is why being engaged with interesting material can be so essential for somebody wishing to learn a new language.

What is Western Civilization? According to Professor Noble, it is "much more than human and political geography," encompassing myriad forms of political and institutional structures - from monarchies to participatory republics - and its own traditions of political discourse. It involves choices about who gets to participate in any given society and the ways in which societies have resolved the tension between individual self-interest and the common good.

A mother who invented her past, a father who was often absent, a son who wondered if this could really be his family...Richard Glover's favourite dinner-party game is called 'Who's Got the Weirdest Parents?' It's a game he always thinks he'll win. There was his mother, a deluded snob who made up large swathes of her past and who ran away with Richard's English teacher, a Tolkien devotee, nudist and stuffed toy collector.

Story
Every day, three times a day, the students march in two straight lines, singing praises to Kim Jong-il and North Korea: Without you, there is no motherland. Without you, there is no us. It is a chilling scene, but gradually Suki Kim, too, learns the tune and, without noticing, begins to hum it. It is 2011, and all universities in North Korea have been shut down for an entire year, the students sent to construction fields - except for the 270 students at the all-male Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST).

In 1992, Count Phillippe Pozzo di Borgo, on the heels of his wife's diagnosis with a terminal illness, suffered a paragliding accident that left him a quadriplegic. Forty-two years old, trapped inside his luxurious Paris town house, he was an outcast for the first time in his life. Abdel, an unemployed Algerian immigrant who had been an outcast for his entire existence, would become Phillipe's unlikely caretaker. Quick-thinking, unsentimental, and more than a little wild, Abdel surprises both himself and his employer.

But Li was only eleven years old and he was scared and lonely, pushed away from all that he had ever known and loved. He hated the strict training routines and the strange place he had been brought to. All he wanted to do was go home - to his mother, father, and six brothers, to his own small village. But soon Li realised that his mother was right. He had the chance to do something special with his life - and he never turned back.

Good For Self-Study
I have been learning Chinese via self-study for over a year at this point, and this has been a great addition to the self-study arsenal. I really appreciate the use in context aspect for these words, as it helps both with gaining a deeper meaning as well as becoming more familiar with Chinese grammar.

Good Choice
Having learned characters years ago, I'm enjoying reviewing them with the pinyin and example sentences. Typically, authors list BU only as a falling tone, which of course is a mistake, one that hopefully will not trouble you. In summary, this is an excellent aid for beginners in learning Chinese.

This is an excellent resource
Overall, this is an excellent resource for those serious about studying Mandarin that I could easily recommend to supplement language instruction or practice vocabulary. While I hope slight improvements could be made in the future, such as adding additional sample sentences or multiple pronunciations or meanings for characters with two or three distinct uses (他 is given for he, but not 她, for she, although 她 does show up in several example sentences) or providing the HSK level of each word, what is included is still great.

Amazing
Having learned characters years ago, I'm enjoying reviewing them with the pinyin and example sentences. Typically, authors list BU only as a falling tone, which of course is a mistake, one that hopefully will not trouble you. In summary, this is an excellent aid for beginners learning Chinese.

I highly recommend this resource, or something similar, for figuring out the most common words, especially because there are few printed resources like this. It's a very useful learning aid, similar to how a dictionary is used, and great for being used alongside other resources such as lessons.

I enjoyed this a lot.
I enjoyed this a lot. Being a native Chinese speaker, it is hard to really explain how to truly learn Chinese in context, and this book is a great way to start. I have shared this friends who are interested in learning Chinese and a more engaging manner!

Good One
In order to learn a language efficiently beyond the beginning grammar, you should focus on learning the words most commonly used. This is a technique I've learned successfully as you won't need to expand your vocabulary greatly when you are just building, and this book is a great way to get you started.
