Me No Speak: China

Language Companion: ChinaWhen you can't say it or mime it, point to it. Menus, picture lexicon, and point-to-phrases help you eat, sleep, & get around... without bumbling your way through a hard-to-speak language. Unlike phrase books, this book doesn't attempt to teach the language ? especially a tonal language, like Mandarin, where the difference between multiple words is dependent upon exact pronunciation. Me No Speak: China exists for a single purpose: to help you with the simple stuff (some would say survive) while traveling in China. When Pinyin fails you, just use the pictures and point-to-phrases in this book to order food, get to the train station, reserve bus tickets, ask hotel staff for an extra pillow, purchase deodorant, exchange money, well... you get the drift...Cheryn Flanagan & Benjamin Kolowich is the author of 'Me No Speak: China', published 2006 under ISBN 9780978768003 and ISBN 0978768000.
