Dreaming in Chinese: Mandarin Lessons in Life, Love, and Language

Learning languages has always been a part of Deborah Fallows' life, but it wasn't until she started getting the hang of Chinese that she realized how intensely Mandarin reflected and shaped China's social life. This book explores how the words, phrases, and tonality are a window towards understanding the humor, relationships, and the overflowing humanity of modern China. Discover how what sometimes appears as chaos and contradiction in Chinese life and society can be better understood by understanding the Chinese language.
