Format:Kindle Edition
Dirty Chinese is pretty much a list of everyday slang from Chinese. In that sense it does what it says. However the book is poorly structured and while it does give the word in a sentences it provides no real context and does very little to teach the words. It also fills up a lot of space with beginner words that are not really slang in any sense and throws in a lot of in jokes that only the writers' friends are going to understand.
The book could be helpful to some people trying to look up a specific saying or just providing some enhancement to there language skills, but does not really meet it's full potential.

Format:Paperback
This really should be titled dirty mandarin as it used both simplified Mandarin text and also pinyin for the Mandarin dialect. Through experience this means it won't work for everywhere in China.
Though it is more of a light hearted look at this book isn't kidding when they say offensive.

Very usefull book
29 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It contains really a plenty of colloquial expressions, those the Chinese use in everyday conversation, it has pin-yin transliteration, simplified characters and many words that are not easily found in a dictionary.
Sometimes the Chinese line has a 1st character missing, but it is still seen in the pin-yin line, so not a big deal. In a word - yi ben shu niu bi!

as a chinese native speaker, I can only say that this book is excellent. it contains the most current, frequently used slang with very accurate but not literally translations.
i like this it. i bought several copies and sent them to my friends who took chinese classes.
well just be careful when you use it, cus some slang in the book can be really rude ;)

Fun But Unprofessional Publishing
21 Sep 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The content is fun and therefore, the book is worth a purchase. The only down side is that it looks like it was assembled by an amature. I would be interested in a future version with more professional type setting, if that's the right word.
