Description
Hi, I'm Kevin. I lived in China for seven years and found a fun, easy and interesting way for you to learn about the Chinese language. While this book isn't meant to necessarily teach you Chinese, it's an easy way to understand the makeup of their language and explains something complex in an painless way. Have you ever wondered about Chinese but didn't know where to start? This is the place. I break down the basics of how they speak while leaving out all the useless information. Think of this as an introduction into Chinese language and culture, as the two are inherently connected. Come with me on a journey and discover how Chinese people say things like 'computer' (electric brain) or 'kangaroo' (bag rat) or 'toilet' (horse bucket). There's a ton of drawings and over 1200 translations to keep you entertained for weeks. The re-readability of this book is amazing! It also includes a 45,000 word story about my time in China. I had a ton of fun adventures, and I include lots of information about the idiocyncracies of the Chinese culture as well! Learn something interesting while you laugh.
