The newest entry to the Chinese 101 in Cartoons series is designed for overseas students going to or staying in China who have no previous knowledge of Chinese.

The 101 expressions selected are all frequently used conversational expressions students can use to get around campus. The book features lively and colorful cartoons which help readers better understand the conversational scenes; the recording of standardized Mandarin Chinese, which is necessary to help develop the correct pronunciation. Many word options that can serve as substitutes are provided for those 101 sentences so readers can adapt the sentences to their particular situations. There are also lively and humorous tips with cartoons that introduce Chinese customs and culture, and also explain differences between the East and the West.
