"Sam Song has a way with words. To teach, he's the best you have heard. The books that he writes are such marvelous sights learning Chinese each day word by word. Chinese words we can learn very fast. And when learned we cry Goodie, at last! For I must know the end. How that story doth wend and to know how it ends is a blast!"--Poem by Poet Mrs. Carol Creed "Indispensable for those who hate rote memorization" -- American reader Eliot This book visually illustrates and explains pieces of every Chinese character in the book. Students can use this book as a reference to study other books.This book visually illustrates and explains 330 Chinese characters in context (700 sentences, 1 dialogue (How are you?) and 3 popular Chinese songs (1.
