Product details

Have you ever tried to learn another language? When Zhuang first arrives in London from China, she feels like she is among an alien species. The city is disorienting, the people unfriendly, and the language a muddle of personal pronouns and moody verbs. But with increasing fluency in English, surviving turns to living. And they say that the best way to learn a language is to fall in love with a native speaker. Selected from the book "A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers" by Xiaolu Guo. Vintage Minis: Great minds. Big ideas. Little books. A series of short books by the world's greatest writers on the experiences that make us human. Also in the Vintage Minis series: "Babies" by Anne Enright, "Depression" by William Styron, "Race" by Toni Morrison, "Home" by Salman Rushdie.
