The Oxford Beginner's Chinese Dictionary is an innovative guide to learning Chinese. Designed specifically for English-speaking adult learners who are either learning from scratch or refreshing lost language skills, it offers an easy to use dictionary, extra help with vocabulary, and essential information on living and interacting in the Chinese-speaking world. The dictionary is exceptionally easy to use, because it moves away from the traditional dictionary layout. All main translations are preceded by an equals sign so that they are instantly identifiable, and all parts of the entry are spelt out in full, avoiding confusing jargon and abbreviations. Grammar and usage notes throughout the text warn of possible translation pitfalls, and thousands of example phrases show how the language is used in context. The 30-page Learning and Lifestyle kit gives key information on both the Chinese language, with a list of the words you really need to know, grammar help, and verb tables, and on life in the Chinese-speaking world: background information on lifestyle and culture, tips on etiquette and interaction in the language, and a phrasefinder for use when travelling. The Oxford Beginner's Chinese Dictionary is your essential companion to learning Chinese.

Übersichtliches Wörterbuch, das genau richtig ist für Chinesisch-Anfänger. Es ist nicht überladen, ausreichend groß gedruckt, dass man nicht überlegen muss, welcher Ton angegeben ist, und es gibt nützliche Erklärungen zu besonderen Themen sowie nützliche Beispielsätze für verschiedene Situationen.
Das Format ist handlich und gut, wenn man es mitnehmen möchte.

Though it doesn't have very many words. It seems good enough for starters. Dictionary contains both A-Z Chinese-English words and A-Z English-Chinese words (pictures added to explain better). Entries of various words, not just repetition of the same words, so that's a good thing. Radical and character indexes are very helpful and appreciated.

Safe, timely, and undamaged delivery of the product by Amazon.
