Chinese Idioms by Examples: Book 2 - 200 More Common Chinese Idioms With Meaning, Pinyin, and Examples [Simplified Chinese Edition] Kindle Edition


*********** NEW Revision: Examples Now With Pinyin ***********
*********** Simplified Chinese Edition ***********

Chinese idioms, also known as "Chengyu", are well-defined expressions usually contain four Chinese characters.

Chinese idioms are being used regularly in colloquial and written Chinese. They are very powerful expressions. When used in the right context, precise expression can be delivered using very succinct words.

As students of the Chinese language, if you want to bring your Chinese proficiency to the next level, mastery of Chinese idioms is a must.

In this book we collected about 200 commonly used Chinese idioms. This is Book 2 of our "Chinese Idioms by Examples" kindle books series. If you study all 5 books of this series, you will learn about 1,000 commonly used Chinese idioms.

These Chinese idioms are presented in flash cards format. The Chinese idioms are presented in Simplified Chinese form. One Chinese idiom will be shown at a time with an example sentence. This will allow the user to guess the meaning of the Chinese idiom from the context of the example. The meaning ("basic meaning" as well as "literal meaning" where available) of the Chinese idiom is shown on the second page of each flash card.

The flash cards were designed such that you can pick a random Chinese idiom to test yourself using the "Random" link, or you can pick an adjacent word (ordered by pinyin) using the "Previous" or "Next" link. To flip a flash card, simply click on the "Meaning" or "Example" link.

The Chinese words and pinyin are presented in pictures. Thus you do not need to worry about the encoding of your Kindle device.
