Chineasy® Travel presents over 100 of the most used and useful Chinese characters, phrases, and sentences for travellers, wherever they may find themselves in the Chinese-speaking world. Ingeniously illustrated throughout by Noma Bar, this guide breaks down the essentials in six themed chapters, from reading directions and using public transport, to ordering food off a menu.

Including a list of useful phrases and instructions on Chinese pronunciation and basic grammar, this handy pocket guide brings the stories and myths behind the characters to life, providing a welcome primer for breaking down the barriers of language.

Sunday Times praised the book, highlighting how ShaoLan's method quickly surpassed traditional learning approaches: 'May revolutionize the teaching of Chinese around the world … In twenty-five minutes ShaoLan’s method had done more for me than had two weeks of headaches clutching Collins’s Easy Learning Chinese Characters'. Timeless Travel called it 'the perfect pocket-sized companion to help you break down the barriers of language and culture.'
