Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a good review of Chinese Medical terminology to aid in my writing and translation/teaching. I am fluent in Chinese but really love to get language books for reading to see how the ideas are taught and also to practice my skills. This book I felt would be very interesting.
Indeed, I will admit it is not easy to take on the project of writing such a book. Especially when one tries to take a non-speaker of Chinese to reading advanced professional literature in one volume.
I would like to say though, I found the book not that helpful in two ways. 1) The terminology although has pinyin romanization, it lacks the intonation marks. While this book is for reading, tones added will make the book able to help those wanting to learn to speak or listen to Chinese. 2) The book is full or errors. The wrong characters are written and often the meaning is either too simple or in error...so many errors!
I hope that in future editions some of the errors can be corrected-then it would be more helpful.
