I thought learning even basic chinese would take ages but i learnt the majority of this book in only a couple of weeks( doing an hour a day mind you). This is not a depreciation of the book, far from it, it covered all the basic things you need to get started, and you could get by on holiday without having to speak english once with this. Easy Peasy chinese is laid out perfectly to stop you feeling intimidated by all the new words, and the cd helps you get pronounciation perfect. It is also full of intresting culture facts about china, and also helps you learn characters. I would recommend this to everyone who is starting brand new with chinese, as it is the best book I have seen yet.

This is a lovely book, suitable for the absolute beginner. Combining the CD and the book really helps vocab to stick. It introduces words in a way that enables you to build your own simple phrases. It looks like a book that is aimed at children, but I think it would suit anyone looking to learn the very basics of Mandarin. It will equip you with enough vocab to talk about yourself a little and to get by on a holiday in China. The book itself is about A5 size, and the CD comes slotted inside the front cover, so you could easily fit it in your suitcase.

"You must be really brave to start learning Chinese"...is the comment I usually get when i tell people I'm learning Chinese. This book makes it not exactly easy but at least possible. Colourful and attractive, the book explains why Chinese is how it is. The CD helps master the tones and sounds. There is lots of insight into Chinese culture like the horoscopes. Ideal for beginners.

Just as it states on the book/CD cover - easy peasy! For ages I had been considering learning Chinese with my son. But I was worried it would be too difficult for us.
