Expert: John J - 7/15/2008

Question
Hi John,
Firstly have a good time when yo go home.
I am coming to xi'an on 30th july to help teach primary school children English and although I can see the mandarin words I need a book which tells me the English meaning and also how to pronounce them in Mandarin.Hope you can suggest a book for me as I wil not have a lot of time to order it.I intend to teach by immersing the children completely but feel i need help from a book occasionally (for me really) Hope you can help.ie something like an English to Mandarin dictionary but with th phonetics at the side.Hope you can find time to answer ,
Very Many Thanks,
Margaret Nelson.

Answer
Thanks, Margaret.

I'm no experts in selecting an English-Chinese dictionary because I never used one. But I trust those who made comments at Amazon.com, so here is what I found for you:

http://www.amazon.com/Concise-English-Chinese-Chinese-English-Dictionary-Third/d...

Hope this may help.
Wish you a wonderful experience in China!

John
