Easy Peasy Chinese Workbook: Mandarin Chinese Practice for Beginners Paperback – 3 Aug. 2015

Very fun, engaging and useful! I am recognising more characters than ever

This is an absolutely brilliant workbook for a complete beginner at Mandarin. Impressively detailed and all of the strokes that make up characters included, excellent focus on radicals, comprehensively laid out. A perfect starter book for young learners!

My 8 year old son loves this book. Colourful, easy to use

My eldest is learning Mandarin and no one in the family speaks it, so I’ve been looking for ways to help her learn. This book does just that! Because we can hear the songs sung by native speakers and the text is in characters, pinyin and English, it is such a great learning tool. I’m not keen on too much screen time so the book with the songs recorded is the perfect solution. And with the QR code to listen to the songs, we can use the book wherever and whenever suits us.

I am a total beginner re Chinese language and these books (this one with audio disc) are very helpful but it is still a difficult journey learning on your own.

This is a great little workbook. I've been learning spoken Mandarin using audio courses and Pinyin for about six months. Now I want to get famiy with the characters. This is a wonderfully logical and interesting book that I can see will get me off to a great start. Tombow brush pens (pictured) glide beautifully over the paper and don't bleed. I'm an adult learner.

The book it a reasonably good introduction to writing characters -- I bought 3 of them for myself and for my 8yo twin daughters. It should be used in conjunction with 'Easy Peasy Chinese' book, which has some explanations and includes CD as well. Note, that this is a VERY basic introduction -- no grammar, no sentence building, just a characters. So you are not much wiser after finishing it. It is Ok as a very first step for self-learning, may be for interesting kids in Chinese , but overall I got mixed feelings.The serious problem with this book is the way it is bound -- it is quite thick for small pages and on practice pages it is difficult to write in area close to the bind. The Chinese symbols are hard to write as they are, so additional layer of complexity is annoying.Overall I am honestly cannot decide, whether it was a worthy purchase or not.

very easy to learn! i am a chinese , i think this book is very good and the color is attractive, the paper touch feeling is good too
