The paramount goal of this conversation book is to make it possible for the learners to effectively acquire，in a short period of time，a great variety of useful，simple，easy，and understandable Chinese expressions.

This book is composed of a collection of basic words，phrases and sentences commonly used in daily life. The Chinese sounds here are spelled in the pin-yin system with English translations. The pin-yin system is a Hanyu Pinyin system initiated in the People，s Republic of China (pin-yin means”spelling the sounds” in Chinese).
