This book was recommended by the teachers there and I can see why.It's a great book for learning the basics. It gives you simple examples of how words are formed and give you easy, image heavy icons on how to remember what the letters and words are. These techniques really simplify the learning process and help you to store the information in your mind palace!If you have to take Chinese as a language or just have a vague interest in the language then you won't go far wrong with this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book, but choice of vocabulary could be better *by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 August 2014* Chineasy is a great book that teaches vocabulary in order of the visual construction of the characters, rather than in order of word frequency. Thus, you might learn 人 person (“person”, a standard introductory word) followed by 从 (“to follow”: one person behind the other) and 众 (“crowd”: three people), neither of which you would normally learn so early. I found this a very helpful way to learn characters quickly and remember them much better.One downside to this is that you learn a lot of words that you are unlikely to be using any time soon, such as 人鱼 “mermaid”, 小鬼 “imp” and 公主 “princess”. Moreover, my Chinese friends tell me that a lot of words in the book are archaic, such as 犬 “dog” (which, in that case, I suppose might be translated more like “hound”?), and the book does not always mention this. That said, it is still useful to learn 犬 because the next character that follows is 吠, which is a combination of 口 “mouth” and 犬 and means “to bark”.So while this character build up is useful, the book seems to miss on some obvious combinations and related characters that are a lot more frequent than, say, “mermaid”. For instance, it covers both 手 “hand” and 机 “machine” but not 手机 “mobile phone”; 酉 “wine vessel” (archaic) and 酒 alcohol (which adds 氵, the radical for water), but not the very common character 西 “west”; it covers both 明 “bright” and 白 “white” but not 明白 “to understand”, etc. In fact, there is very little overlap between the vocabulary covered in Chineasy and the vocabulary from the HSK vocabulary lists (which are organized by frequency).Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this book and it helped me quickstart my character learning. I would recommend it and if a second volume ever came out I would definitely buy it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, useful and beautifully produced complement to other learning materials *by K***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 April 2017* You wouldn't want to use this as your *only* source of information about chinese characters but as a complement to other learning activities it's really lovely. The method of using memorable images to embed the characters in is fun as well as well grounded in research, and the ways that characters combine to form new meanings is very interesting. The stories told around that are yet another aide to learning. The book is also very well produced - nice smooth cover, and an elastic to keep the pages neat when travelling with it, or mark your place. A very inventive and welcome addition to the learning materials available! I wish ShaoLan much success and further product line extensions. ## Frequently Bought Together - Chineasy™: The New Way to Read Chinese - Chineasy™ Workbook - Chineasy® Travel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/50805713-chineasy-the-new-way-to-read-chinese](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/50805713-chineasy-the-new-way-to-read-chinese) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
