Everyday Chinese: Useful Expressions in Chinese for the English-Speaking Tourist

by Lin Qian (Editor), Joseph A. Reif

This series puts the most valuable travel phrases at the fingertips. Dispensing with complex "dictionary" phonetics, these guides use common English spelling to convey foreign pronuciation (the Spanish "Si" becomes "See"). Commonly used vocabulary and expressions are listed according to subject, from arrival to departure (with over 60 subjects covered, including hotel, cafe, gallery, shop, hospital, etc.) Also contains a basic dictionary for less obvious phrases.
