Title: Avoid if you can
Review: This book is not so good. 2 things that I find really disturbing:* a lot of the words in the vocabulary are unlikely to be used by someone new to the language. Instead of learning the word for "clothes"(very basic vocabulary) you learn the word "overcoat", which is allready a compound word of the words "big" and "clothes" (but they don't tell that!).* the grammer used is too complex in the beginning. You will encounter phrase constructions that are impossible to understand, until you come at some part way further in the book.My advise: really avoid this book, it makes learning Chinese more difficult than it should.
