The purpose of this pictionary (picture/dictionary) book is to provide the reader with a quick reference guide that associates a picture with the common word or phrase. The book combines English, Cantonese/Jyutaping (traditional Chinese characters), Mandarin/Zhuyin (traditional Chinese characters) and Putonghua/Pinyin (simplified Chinese characters). This pictionary book is a resource for everyday vocabulary words which creates an easy glimpse for visual association. This book also serves as supplemental material for the Chinese classroom and helps students learn different Chinese dialects.
The topics are organized in individual chapters. Words or phrases are grouped under each unit for a particular theme. For example, for the unit discussing time, the English and the Chinese pronunciations and tones are provided to help the student. An index at the end of the book allows the students and teachers to easily locate all the words and topics. Volume 1 covers nine different topics. Each topic may be studied, viewed or learned in any order.
