COLLINS MANDARIN CHINESE DICTIONARY [Paperback] Collins Dictionaries

I have recently started learning Mandarin Chinese.Initially I was learning the stuff online from different sites and Android Apps, but scrolling through them for hours was very painful to eyes.So I needed a full fledged dictionary that could save my time as well as eyes.I have always been a fan of Harper Collins dictionaries,So I decided to buy this dictionary.The book is handy and easy to carry,contains 1200+ pages.The dictionary contains almost every word from HSK 1 to 6 Vocabulary (I'm not saying ALL because I didn't count and match).Meanings are to the point given along Example Sentences.What I found to be missing is the meaning and the Pinyin key of the Radicals given in the list of Chinese Radicals in the beginning of the book which is extremely important in order to identify Chinese characters though Pinyin key is given for the words containing those radicals which is secondary.Otherwise almost perfect.Ultimately it solves my purpose, and I love it and recommend it.Moreover thanks to Amazon as the Book was delivered before the date range given at the time of order.

Nothing beats this dictionary when learning Chinese. I am using this as a reference and it is quite handy. It should be only second to Hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi Vocabulary lists, but nonetheless, it is recommended for a Chinese learner.

The only criticism I could have about this is that it should be in two volumes - it's very thick. But as a dictionary, particularly the English-Chinese half, I think it's excellent. And has classifiers for nouns on the Chinese-English side, which gets rid of a real headache for learners.Would definitely recommend!

Larger than we thought but very helpful

Low quality paper (inferior to the Oxford Beginner's Chinese Dictionary). Aside from saving costs, I cannot understand why paper like this would be used...?

Very easy to use
