Good for ESL students, Bad for Chinese students
23 Sep 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a bad thing for anyone learning Chinese because IT DOESNT HAVE PINYIN. BE WARNED.
However, ESL students will love this thing because of the pictures and the English.
However, IT IS WORTHLESS for AMERICANS LEARNING CHINESE.

Good but limited
30 July 2004
Format:Paperback
This is an easy to use picture dictionary organized around themes, such as homes, food, feelings, etc. The illustrations are clear and colorful. There are two big drawbacks, however, the first and biggest being that there is no pinyin used, so a Westerner has no idea whatsoever about how to pronounce the Chinese word, although phonetic spellings for the English words are listed in the index. The second is that the "old style" characters are used, not the simplified versions. This book is definitely for Chinese students learning English but of very limited use for English speakers wanting to learn Chinese. As an ESL teacher in China recently, I found I only used this book as a last resort, when explanations of various words proved impossible, and once when I was teaching a lesson on homes. This book is a useful supplement, but I'm going to try to find something with pinyin when I return to China to teach again.

Best for Chinese-speaking Students
28 Jun 1999
Format:Paperback
It's an excellent dictionary for Chinese-speaking student. It's better than the book "The New Oxford Picture Dictionary". It's best for beginner. There are a lot of examples,illustrations,& pictures in this dictionary. Unfortunately, it's out of stock at Amazon.com at this moment(June'99).
