Hello, everyone. Welcome back. This is Baixue’s Chinese Language Learning Program. Last time we talked about a poem in Chinese. Today, we will talke about some Chinese signs and Meanings.

I took and made some pictures of Chinese signs and wrote a book about these signs. The name of this book is:《China Travel Guide: Signs And Meanings》. If you are not sure how many Chinese signs you really know, you can read this book for detail. This is a kindle edition book, and I put it on amazon for selling. You are under no obligation to buy it. But if you are interested in these signs and want to learn some Chinese signs and meanings, you can buy it from amazon at this link: http://amzn.to/1eX3ITe (for US friends. If you are not in US, please go to your amazon and input the book’s name: 《China Travel Guide: Signs And Meanings》to search it.)

Some signs in this book are in Chinese and English. But most of the signs in China actually are only in Chinese. So this book can not only help you understand what these signs mean but also help you learn Chinese.

Here is some pages of this book.
