Idiom a Day Vol 1: Illustrated Stories of Chinese by Yuan Wu & Jiaxun Wang (illus)

ISBN: 9789814276771 PUBLISHER: Penguin FORMAT: PAPERBACK PAGES: 190 PUBLICATION DATE: 8.04.2010

DESCRIPTION: Chinese idioms are a fun and playful part of the Chinese language. Most of the time, they consist of phrases or sentences that do not literally mean what they say. Even if you know every word that you see in a Chinese idiom, you may still have difficulty understanding the idiom completely. To effectively know what an idiom means, it is best to gain an insight into the history or folklore that vividly brings it to life. Each of the 92 stories in this volume explains, through a series of colourful illustrations, what the idiom means and how you can use it. This four-volume series will teach you an idiom a day, in a fun and interesting way. Go ahead. Learn the history, absorb the wisdom and work the lingo!
