‘The Most Basic Chinese’ teaches all the Mandarin you need to survive, enabling you to learn everything you need simply and effortlessly.

To begin, let’s get one thing straight – it is extremely easy to learn all the Basic Chinese you will need if you are travelling to or intending to live in China.

This booklet gives you all of that language and is presented in a simple way. It can be easily studied on the plane journey over or any other time, and is entirely sufficient to be able to get by in Mandarin on arrival. So don’t be fooled by the booklet length – once you have mastered this small amount of Basic Chinese, you will have reached the same level as thousands of people who have lived, worked and survived in China for years.

It begins with the very simple (10 most useful phrases for a newcomer), then builds on this in easy stages to demonstrate how easy it is to speak Basic Chinese as well as give you the language and knowledge to do so.

With this booklet, you will already have picked up a great deal of the language and grammar as well as a great sense of how easy it is to speak Basic Chinese.

As many know, the Chinese language has a tonal pronunciation system, and although it is preferable in the long run to learn the tones, for Basic Chinese, learning the tones is completely unnecessary, because you are easily understood without using them. Indeed, I lived in China for 2 years without ever learning the tones, and know people who have been living there for over 10 years, who are also understood perfectly in Chinese every day without ever learning the tones.

So don't be scared off by the tonal system to get by in Basic Chinese because we are well understood without using it.

You will also find ‘The Most Basic Chinese’ an invaluable tool to keep with you for its simple presentation of the language needed for various situations – e.g. in a taxi, restaurant, bar or shop.

Good luck and safe travels!

NB. This book is also available in German, named "Grundkenntnisse in Chinesisch", and a similar book is also available for Vietnamese: "The Most Basic Vietnamese - All You Need to Know to Get By".

Also note that I have updated the format of this book to remove the tables, since they were not always showing properly on Kindle Fire - the format should now be ok for this too.
