Discovered this series of books whilst browsing Amazon for Chinese books.

Looking at the google previews though they're not as useful as I was hoping. They just have highlighted keywords translated into Chinese.

An amazing dictionary that I bought is the "Pocket Mandarin Chinese Dictionary." It has both Chinese-English and English-Chinese. It contains the 3,000 most commonly used words in the language, which I find useful because it allows you to focus on the foundations of the language and essential vocabulary. Usually, if I want to say something and I don't know how, the word will be in this dictionary. Rarely do I need to use words that are not in this book.  Check it out!
