“A boy is stranded alone on a ship in a storm and receives help from a mysterious magical dwarf. Uses just 358 different Chinese words.”
They seemed to really like this author on Reddit. I downloaded this ebook but haven’t read beyond the first page yet. Let me know your thoughts.
It is definitely made for English speakers learning purposes. if I remember correctly, it contains English and Pinyin in separate places from the hanzi, and is made by a native Chinese speaker working with a native English speaker. Not a volume that would show up on a bookshelf in mainland China. From the imagin8 press website, it sounds like Jeff Pepper is an Anglo scholar of Chinese, and Xiao Huiwang is a Chinese scholar of English, which seems like a good duo for making this sort of thing, lol
Good point about the last part. Better an Anglo-Chinese duo for this sort-of thing.
