While I have learned some Chinese, I can still barely get by in basic conversations. That's where this little book comes in!

The most popular story about Golu talks of a local king who, while hunting, sent his servants to look for water. The servants disturbed a woman who was praying. Deepolis torgovaya karta. At Dana Golu, there is the original and most ancient temple of Golu Devta. Another legend says that Golu Devta was killed by the king of due to some false doubt, and he was beheaded by the king and his body fell at Gairad at Dana Golu and his head fell at Kaparkhan, near modern-day Binsar, a few km from Almora.

I like that I already knew many of the phrases (numbers, hello and goodbye, thank you, etc.), but there were lots of new and useful phrases that were new to me. The book emphasizes learning and practicing the four tones, which I think is the hardest part of learning to speak Chinese. I especially loved the guide to marketplace haggling, something I do not like to do and will avoid if at all possible.

At least when I do find myself in a haggling situation, I know a bit more about how it works. I also like the colorful, easy-on-the-eyes layout.

This book is not linear; rather, it has boxes of text in various sizes, fonts, and colors. This would be a great starter guide for children as well. If you are interested in learning Chinese, this is an excellent place to start. I will suggest that this book and audio CD be read/played many times--one time through is definitely not enough. Even though I hear these words and phrases all day long, I won't remember them after only one read of this book. THE BOTTOM LINE: An excellent guide to learning basic Chinese.

Use the CD and play it often so you can learn the words and tones. This is a beginner's guide; you will need more than just this to really learn Chinese, but it is a great start.

STATUS IN MY LIBRARY: We have three copies, and they do get checked out. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR LEARNING BASIC CHINESE: (video, audio, and workbook series)--There are some free videos on YouTube if you want to try it out first. I am planning to purchase this program to work on over our Christmas holiday break. --This is another book in our library that I plan to read. It takes Chinese characters and draws pictures around them to help readers remember the characters. Flashcards and a Memory game are also available in the series. I started learning Mandarin a little over a month ago, so I decided to get a couple of books to accompany the one I already have for class, to get a slightly different perspective and to familiarize myself with the language.

I bought this one solely because of the positive reviews I'd seen on the web - if I hadn't read them I would never have picked up this book, since the title is so ridiculous. There's nothing 'easy-peasy' about Mandarin, unless you're a native speaker, I guess.
