The last 3 chapters were much less cohesive and jumped around.

[Richard Pohl · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not bad, but not great either.

i like this series.

this one has a lot of pictures of signs and money with writing, little mini-tests, and it conducive to learning - if you follow through with it.

This is a terrific little workbook for those who want to learn to read and write Chinese on their own.

[Casper Gasper · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not a bad book, but I think trying to teach Chinese characters without learning Chinese is a complete waste of time.
