Item description from seller

A unique and practical guide to understanding and using informal Chinese, titled 'Outrageous Chinese: A Guide to Chinese Street Language'. Authored by James Wang, this invaluable book delves into the nuances of everyday Chinese, including slang and idiomatic expressions often not found in standard textbooks. Presented in a comprehensive bilingual format, with both English and Chinese text, it serves as an excellent resource for learners, travelers, and anyone seeking to connect more authentically with local culture and conversation. Published in 1994 by China Books & Periodicals. This paperback copy is offered in good condition, showing typical signs of shelf wear commensurate with age and use, but remains entirely suitable for study and reference.
