A Couple of Useful Books



A couple of useful books that I've found outside of class and used to supplement the text...

  • Learning Chinese Measure Words Through Pictures by Fan Jiao: I took this out of the CCSU library recently. Consists of individual exercises centered around measure words, but I found it really useful in terms of translating the discussions to English and learning some new characters. The library actually has many good titles like this one.

  • Mandarin Chinese-English Bilingual Visual Dictionary by DK Publishing: I picked this up during break. 360 pages, divided by category with charcter and pinyin next to a relevant picture. The picture on this blog post is a small snippet that I scanned. The association between character & picture is helpful, as is the categorical organization.
