Is SPEAK E-Z CHINESE the only book that teaches Chinese using phonetic English?
No. There are a few other Chinese phrasebooks using phonetic English, but we’ve perfected the system! As the authors, we’ve combined over 30 years of experience and training as English and Chinese teachers to create the most effective and simple to master techniques for learning Chinese using English phonetics. Plus, only SPEAK E-Z CHINESE provides its readers with its FREE downloadable audio version to accompany the phonetic instruction. In this way, the beginning student is also equipped with the proper tones for each word, spoken by native Chinese speakers.
