Review

"This is a great kit to start your children to learn those common basic daily living words in Mandarin. This is an easy guide for adults to use too. I love the quality of the flash cards. They have a smooth finish and are easy to read. Besides the Chinese characters shown, it also shows the Han Yu Pin Ying, how to write the strokes and many more. I would recommend it if you are looking for a simple kit to start with." --ET Speaks from Home blog
