OXFORD BEGINNER'S CHINESE DICTIONARY

Though it doesn't have very many words. It seems good enough for starters. Dictionary contains both A-Z Chinese-English words and A-Z English-Chinese words (pictures added to explain better). Entries of various words, not just repetition of the same words, so that's a good thing. Radical and character indexes are very helpful and appreciated.Safe, timely, and undamaged delivery of the product by Amazon.

Bigger then expected but great paper quality.

Very good.

Excellent for beginners

As a parent of a sixteen-year-old daughter studying Chinese at a high school in Scotland, I have seen firsthand the challenges she faces in grasping the intricacies of the language. With two years of Chinese under her belt, she embarked on a journey of self-study at home to prepare for her exams. At the recommendation of her school teacher, we purchased the Oxford Beginner’s Chinese Dictionary, and it has proven to be an invaluable resource in her studies.One of the standout features of this dictionary is its user-friendly layout. The organization of the entries makes it easy for my daughter to navigate and quickly find the information she needs. Each character is accompanied by its pinyin pronunciation, meaning, and crucially, the stroke order of its radicals. This stroke order information has been particularly beneficial for my daughter as she can reinforce her understanding of character formation and stroke order, which are fundamental to mastering Chinese writing.Moreover, the inclusion of radicals and stroke order alongside each character has helped my daughter develop a deeper understanding of Chinese characters’ structure and meaning. By breaking down characters into their constituent parts, she has been able to deduce the meanings of unfamiliar words based on their radicals and context, thereby enhancing her vocabulary retention and comprehension.Another aspect that sets this dictionary apart is its comprehensive coverage of vocabulary suitable for beginners. It includes commonly used words and phrases that are relevant to everyday conversations and classroom learning. This breadth of vocabulary ensures that my daughter can find translations for a wide range of terms, from basic greetings to more complex expressions, allowing her to gradually expand her language proficiency.In addition to its content, the Oxford Beginner’s Chinese Dictionary also excels in its design and presentation. The clear font and layout, accompanied by illustrative examples and usage notes, enhance readability and comprehension. The inclusion of cultural insights and language tips further enriches the learning experience, providing valuable context and practical advice for language learners.Overall, the Oxford Beginner’s Chinese Dictionary has been an indispensable companion for my daughter on her journey to mastering Chinese. Its comprehensive coverage, user-friendly layout, and emphasis on stroke order and radicals make it an essential tool for beginners navigating the complexities of the Chinese language. I highly recommend it to anyone embarking on their Chinese language learning journey, whether in a classroom setting or through self-study.

と、上から申しましたが、私も中国語ビギナーなのです。この辞書を購入した理由は一言、「安い」中国人の友人が言うにはこの辞書の単語すべて覚えたら、「じゅうぶんだよ〜」とのことただし、いまでは使われていない単語もあるとのこと。それはどんな辞書にも言えますね。文法については簡単な説明があります、丁寧ではないです。しかし時制については「Be」のところに説明があったり、芸が細やか覚えるべき単語や、数詞欄も掲載あります。例文は平易ではないでしょうか。色々述べましたが、この辞書で一番驚愕したのは、中英・『英中』辞書であること...使えます...
