Emergency Series Phrase Books are designed to give travellers the key words and essential phrases they need in the most urgent situations. They combine striking covers and page design with a clear layout combined with 'say-what-you-see' pronunciation. Reply panels and cultural tips make these books a high-quality, easy-to-use emergency reference. EMERGENCY CHINESE uses Mandarin Chinese, the most widely understood dialect of Chinese. Travellers to China need an emergency reference to help them communicate outside major tourist centres.
