Travelers to Taiwan, Hong Kong and China will find this book useful for helping you communicate easily with local people without the frustration of learning the language. Pocket size and CD included. This description may be from another edition of this product.
My written and spoken Chinese comprehension is somewhere between Basic and Intermediate. I've been searching to no avail for material that can up my current level. Alas, the books I've seen are either too easy or above my league. "Everyday Chinese for Travelers" offers more than the run-of-the-mill Ni Hao's and numbers with more situational and practical examples. Maybe it's a stretch, but I would have wanted traditional and simplified Chinese characters together in the text. Also, some pinyin pronunciations may be off. But overall, it's a great resource book and highly recommend it for "halfways" like me!
