"A brief introduction to the main characteristics of Chinese,
written to be accessible to beginning students as well as anyone
with a general interest in Chinese language and culture. Provides a
demystifying overview of Chinese from a linguistic, historical and
social perspective." --Omniglot.com blog
"Excellent overview of the Chinese language. It's perfect for a
reader with some knowledge of linguistic terms, but it's definitely
written for a layman. It has tons of examples and really whetted my
appetite to learn more." —Goodreads
