My First Mandarin Chinese Book: Bilingual Mandarin Chinese-English first words book for children with phonetics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781918471229)

A practical first language book focused on real words children use.

This book teaches everyday vocabulary through clear images and a simple, repeatable structure. Each page pairs the English word with its translated word and an easy phonetic spelling, so pronunciation is clear even if you don't speak the language yourself.

The layout is deliberate and uncluttered. Attention stays on the word, the image, and how it sounds, making vocabulary easier to recognise and remember.

Inside, the book covers a wide range of early topics drawn from daily life, including the home, kitchen, bathroom and bedtime routines, family members, toys, transport, animals, the garden, food and drink, clothing, community places, weather and seasons, numbers, colours, shapes and opposites. All vocabulary is presented consistently in both languages using age-appropriate illustrations.

This book is for parents who want a straightforward way to introduce a new language without overcomplicating it. You can read it together, point to images, use it alongside everyday activities, or dip into specific sections as needed. The phonetic spelling under every translated word means no prior language knowledge is required.
