Survive China: Travel With Unique Point-To Picture Phrase Book

San Francisco, CA (PRWeb) February 5, 2007 -- When traveling in China and you can't say it or mime it, point to it with Me No Speak: China,(ISBN 0-9787680-0-0, USA $9.95) a unique phrase book. Users do not have to master pronunciation of Chinese, but communicate by pointing to what they want to say, using pictures and point-to-phrases.

An increasing number of English speaking tourists are visiting China. Statistics from the China National Tourist Office show over 1.5 million Americans visited China in 2005. The latest forecast from United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) predicts that China is poised to surpass Spain as the world's second most popular destination after France.

The passport-size Me No Speak: China is the product of author Cheryn Flanagan's real travel experiences in China and difficulties she encountered with the language. She created the book after discovering that the only effective way to communicate her needs was by pointing to pictures.

Me No Speak: China is designed to enable easy interactions for travelers on-the-go. The book is divided into topics that are color-coded and illustrations accompanied by English and Chinese text descriptors. Topics include: Everyday Help, Food (with specialized content for vegetarians and people with food allergies), Transportation, Accommodation, Shopping, Health and Safety.

One user described the book: "This perfectly-sized travel helper can get you through many frustrating circumstances. When I wanted to order vegetarian noodles or find batteries for my camera, I just pointed at the picture in the book. Since I was traveling through China without a tour and without knowing the language, general communication was pretty difficult and Me No Speak became an amazing asset for everyday situations."
