About this ebook
Chinese is fast becoming one of the most popular languages in the world. But sadly, for English speakers, it is sometimes not an easy language to learn! Chinese comes from a completely different family of languages, and makes learning French, or German, or Spanish look simple by comparison.
This is a problem that I have seen many people experience over the years I have lived in China. People who earnestly want to learn Chinese but who feel they don’t have the time to study it.
Fortunately, there is a solution! With its special mnemonics (memory tricks), this book will help you to start speaking Chinese straight away! Made for the complete beginner, this book can be read in just a few minutes. It was written for the person who says: “I want to speak Chinese...Now!”
So just download this book...and you will!
