The Mandarin Vocabulary laminated Study Guide from QuickStudy provides vocabulary essentials for students, travellers and business people alike.

Review: ... year I thought that it would have been really useful to have it - As a beginner in mandarin language who stay in China 4 months / year I thought that it would have been really useful to have it, but I found it as useful as a Swiss knife : multipurpose, but a bit useless at the same time ! There are some good things in it and it is a thin reminder that might be handy to have in your luggage when you travel there. However, it's been obviously designed for Americans, and why a serious learner of the Chinese language and culture would like to learn useless things such as : "hello", "I'm american", "american football", "ice hockey", "older female cousin", "father's younger brother" etc... The idea and the intention was good but to be honest, I'm not sure that I like it. Review: Not what I expected - Not much relevant vocabulary if you are not an American high-school student or undergraduate who also happens to like American sports. As a middle-aged Irish woman working a regular type job and into non-US related hobbies, this is not the most helpful purchase I have ever made. To be honest I am not sure that 'auditorium, ' 'hair dresser' and 'bell hop' are survival phrases in any language.

Not much relevant vocabulary if you are not an American high-school student or undergraduate who also happens to like American sports.

To be honest I am not sure that 'auditorium, ' 'hair dresser' and 'bell hop' are survival phrases in any language.

Volledige handige kaart
Deze kaart geeft een heel handig overzicht van de belangrijkste Chinese woorden. Misschien wat groot voor op reis, maar kan toch makkelijk in een rugzak. Dus toch heel handig.
