## Description

Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook & Dictionary [Lonely Planet, Garnaut, Anthony, Lu, Tim] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Lonely Planet Mandarin Phrasebook & Dictionary

Review: Perfect gift - I gifted this to a friend who is learning mandarin. They enjoy it.
Review: pocket-sized lifesaver - The phrasebook is well organized around the most common communication needs that a traveller can meet. It is not complete, but the slim size of the book prevents it from being so. For example, there is no phrase to ask for a 'collect call' (or reverse charge); but there is a translation in the dictionary part. Alas, the concept seem foreign to most chinese telephone operators and travel info helpers. The pronunciation of chines words (transliterated into pidgin) is american english; anyone with a different native language is bound (like me) to mispronounce and sound 'odd' to the chinese interlocutor. Make sure to bookmark the page with "I do not understand", as you will use this sentence over and over.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for basics
*by D***A on April 13, 2018*

1st-know that very few Chinese people speak or understand English. At least, that was my experience during 9 days in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou. Would have been good if I’d had a chance to use it. I only learned basic words. Improvement would be to explain the Chinese “alphabet” characters, as they are used most of the time, even in large cities.
