REVIEWS

"Chinese Without Tears for Beginners makes learning Chinese characters painless, while including the elements that make character study effective: radicals, real-life examples, and a range of engaging practice exercises." -ChinaExpat.com

"This is incredible! I learned more characters from this book in 15 minutes than in 15 years from my usual awful teacher (myself). Brian's clear, concise word-painting unlocks the meaning of the most baffling characters. Bravo." -Nury Vittachi, Author and Columnist
