Mandarin Chinese English Bilingual Visual Dictionary (DK Visual Dictionaries) Paperback – June 2, 2015

I bought a visual multi-lingual book 4-5 years ago; I was surprised to find it; it was the only one out there at the time. Every once in a while I would check to see if there were others, but to no avail.This past month or so, I started new languages for the fun of it (along with others that I have learned in school and want to keep up with). I noticed this visual book for Chinese and also one for Russian, and I immediately bought them. They are exactly what I have been looking for! They are well made, and it is so much fun to go to different sections like fruits and vegetables for example, and pronounce the words out easily, because not only is the Chinese and English there, but also the transliteration of the word.This is a great help for young and old who want to learn a language, and to SEE what it is, and how to pronounce it correctly. The PLUSES are it comes with a FREE audio app and a great index in the back! Well worth the price! I will purchase more in the future when I learn other new languages!

Great for Chinese language learners. A very useful resource that’s well-made. The pictures are high quality.

I don’t have a visual mind but I love looking at photos anyway. If you’re starting your Chinese learning journey, I wish you all the best. Keep going!

It seems by manufacturer error, The cover is upside down. Though the book still works as it should. Some of the terms in the book are inaccurate. (Like the term that’s meant for one’s sister actually means sister city) but with some cross referencing it can be pretty easy to correct.

Got lots of pictures and words grouped in sections. My son can’t read yet but he loves looking at all the pictures.

This book separates all common topics into different categories, it's so convenient to understand the meaning of the word with visual images and translations. The app that could be downloaded from the app store is also a plus to this book for pronunciation.However, the downside of the app is also very obvious; it cannot search for a certain word like a dictionary. The only function of the search bar in the app is to show the content of that page. You'll need to have the book on hand in order to find the right page. Hope they can update the app for a better reading experience.

This book is absolutely fantastic for learning every day vocabulary. Most of the language courses that I've seen teach you the basic phrases and you have to rely on google or dictionaries to try and determine what the words are for other items, but the way this is laid out is perfect. And it is extremely in depth with every detail named. Ex: in the picture of a water heater they have it broken down into 10+ words for each little part that you may have to know if yours is having issues. It is amazing how in depth this is. From emotions, to body parts, to hair color, to kitchen utensils, to sports, tools and hardware, gardening, etc. Not really a con but be warned that the human anatomy diagrams are graphic 3D representations and not suitable for children, as you can clearly see the details of the male/female anatomy and names multiple parts of sexual organs.Pros: So much information. Literally everything is labeled.Cons: Tiny print. Maybe size 8-10 font which is not a huge deal in some language, but it makes it very hard to see the tone accents with this very small font.

I often like this book very well 👍
