The Pocket Interpreter Chinese (Streetwise Guide) (English and Chinese Edition)
Seller: ChineseBookCity, RICHMOND HILL, ON, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: New. A common problem facing visitors to China is "instant illiteracy". In China, familiar signs in English are rare. Even the independent spirit soon learns that without language skills, one requires help to engage in the most basic activities. The design of this book is to offer basic sentences upon which other sentences can be patterned, rather than attempt to provide specific phrases for every situation the China traveler could possibly encounter. A dictionary and easy to find glossary for everyday situations like going to the post office, talking about the weather, ordering in a restaurant, etc makes this pocket-sized book a must-have. An audio CD is included Also get matching Beijing Streetwise Guide. Seller Inventory # ABE-1738861152626

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Good. A pocket interpreter is a wonderfully optimistic object: small enough to fit in your hand, yet apparently ready to stand between you and linguistic disaster. The Pocket Interpreter Chinese by Yan Jing is a compact phrasebook-style guide for those brave moments when pointing, smiling, and hoping for the best no longer seem sufficient. It belongs to that noble tradition of travel books designed to rescue the visitor from menus, taxis, hotels, shops, introductions, directions, and the terrifying possibility of needing to ask a practical question out loud. There is a lovely irony in calling any language guide ?pocket? when the language in question is Chinese. The book may be small, but the task is enormous. Still, that is part of the charm: a little printed ally against one of the world?s great languages, ready to provide useful phrases, polite expressions, and a modest sense of control. This good copy, as sold by Crappy Old Books, is ideal for travellers, language learners, collectors of phrasebooks, or anyone who enjoys the pre-smartphone confidence of carrying civilisation in paperback form. A handy little reminder that before translation apps, we relied on books, courage, and occasionally very elaborate hand gestures. Seller Inventory # 6205
