Having studied in China and sampled many Western solutions for this daunting task, Joel Belassen makes it seem easy, and what's more, you'll have some creative fun too. Discover what those sinograms mean, learn about their origins, learn how to write Chinese and speak it in a matter of weeks.

One starts off practicing four tones which are the key to speaking Chinese. Set out at the beginning of the book is a table of 'radicals'. Radicals help understand each character and act as memory triggers for their sound and meaning. This is followed by a list of 400 characters taught in the lessons.

In all there are 18 lessons in three parts. These are informative and entertaining whilst being relevant to every day conversations in China.

Each lesson contains a dialogue, a sinogram table and memory techniques using ancient pictograms and radicals to aid your recall. A grammar page clearly explains each pictogram and their linguistic application. Learning to write each pictogram as they appear throughout the book helps to memorize them and what's more lets one study the ancient art of calligraphy at the same time! This system helps to quickly absorb each pictogram and progress to the next lesson. Throughout the book are Civilization pages that help reinforce knowledge from each lesson and explain China's diverse cultural heritage.

顾名思义，这是一本汉语语言文字的启蒙教材，分一、两集，本书为第一集。
汉语的一个重要特点是：其汉字足表意文字，个体突出，以单个汉字为基础可以层层构词。本教材的第一册是在三千多个常用字中选择了其中使用率最高的四百个汉字（使用率近70％），并以此为基础编写而成。
本教材在总体设计上力图体现汉语字与词关系这一特点，循汉语之本来面目进行教学，故本教材可称为“字本位教学法”。作者使用此法曾有多年的实践，教学效果事半功倍。　本书作者兼收并蓄，突出了语言教学的交际性和循序渐进等原则,并对中国传统文化的介绍穿插其中，极受学生欢迎。
本书在汉字字形、字义教学上，颇具匠心，便于学生记忆及教师使用,且版面设计生动活泼，陶文并茂，独具特色，书后附繁体字课文及英文译文。
