This attractive, illustrated traveller's aid consists of a Mandarin Chinese language phrasebook, Getting By in Mandarin Chinese, with two accompanying audio compact discs. The phrasebook has been updated and re-designed in this new edition. Perfect as a take-along guide for visitors to the Far East, it features city maps, information on public transportation systems, general information for visitors to China, and bilingual lists (phonetic spellings with English translations) of more than 1,500 most-often-used words and expressions for travellers. The books page edges are colourcoded by topic for quick reference. Two audio compact discs, which replace the older cassette tapes in previous editions, give international travellers approximately 90 minutes of bilingual dialogue. They dramatise typical situations and conversations at airports, hotels, stores, taxicabs, and the like. The CDs come with an added bilingual script booklet.
