Summary:
"A simple system for quickly understanding the basic building blocks of written
Chinese
. Working with illustrator Noma Bar, the author transforms
Chinese
characters
into charming pictograms that are easy to remember. She first teaches the key
characters
, called radicals, that are the language's foundation, and then shows how they can be combined to form new words and even phrases. Once you've mastered these key
characters
, you can practice your skills with three stories
--
a fairy tale, an Asian legend, and a contemporary fable
--
told using the radicals. Readers will be able to navigate a
Chinese
menu, read signs and billboards, and grasp the meaning of most articles in a
Chinese
newspaper"--Provided by publisher.
