Title: A little funky romanization.
Review: Sadly, I cannot give this book a nice review.Jane Wightwick et al produce some excellent Arabic instruction books, but this simple chinese vocab book seems to have fallen through the cracks.It does little to provide more than rote memerization of the characters, but really falls short on the romanization. Not only is pining not used or mentioned, the entire notion of Chinese being a tonal language isn't even mentioned! So you get words like "ya-ds" or "ger-bou" and thats all you get. Which is useless without tonal information.It may be worth the low price to use the flash cards alone, but that's about all.
