Chinese for Dummies by Wendy Abraham, ISBN 978-0471788973 Chinese for Dummies, by Wendy Abraham ISBN 978-0471788973 [...] This is the worst book in the entire Chinese language field. There is not a single Chinese character in this book or a single Pinyin word/syllable in it. This books holds the ridiculous position that a learner does not need to study tone. This is without a doubt the absolute worst book written on learning Chinese. Stupid is what stupid writes. This is more like a novel with occasional Pinyin thrown in. There are many errors in Pinyin word construction, errors in tone markers and errors in the English writing!!!! "Chinese" is a written language, i.e. the characters. There is not one Chinese character in the book. Although this may seem ideal to the initiate learner, if the Chinese characters were not necessary to learn the language, 1.5 billion Chinese would not have learned them. This book makes no attempt to demonstrate homophones and the representative characters that they phonate. The worst part of this book are the "Talking the Talk" sections. Pinyin stacked on top of a new "dummy phonetic" code and English on the bottom is just too confusing to sort out. Wi
