Chinese for Travel and Daily Life Workbooks
By Mei Lin
These workbooks are for the moments when you need Mandarin to get something done. Order a coffee and change your mind, find the metro and buy a ticket, ask for a smaller size, read a price, explain a sore throat at the pharmacy, view a flat, check tomorrow's weather.
Each workbook gives you the words and lines for one kind of situation, then rehearses them until they come without thinking. If you're travelling soon, the seven-day travel refresher packs the essentials into short daily sessions. For children there are food and clothes books with Bao the panda.
