Review: Great start to learn a new language - Easy to use and understand Review: Beautiful but confusing for a beginner. - Beautiful books. In traditional Chinese. However, she has slotted in the odd Pinyin symbol, which is very confusing. The sign for dog was in pinyin as was Dragon. She needs to stick to Traditional Chinese which is what I have beeen learning or use Pinyin. Not both. She has mixed them which is going to confuse a beginner. Other than that, the books I got (I got the Travel one too, same confusion) are lovely.
