1. page 61. When you describe the three different “i” sounds you say that the one in ‘qi’, like the English “ee” will be marked as bold. But this is _not_ how it’s used in the pinyin chart and other parts of the book.

This will probably be the most confusing thing in the book for someone who doesn’t know what’s this about or not 100% sure in his knowledge.

2. p. 66. Same issue. You are saying that the ‘i’ in xiexie is the bold one in pinyin chart. But it’s not.

3. p 98 bottom. “Shengdan kuaile” in pinyin, but “kuaile shengdan” in hanzi.

4. p 152. Ordering three times the same dish? In China?? That cannot be right! )

5. p 185. The two sentences with keyi don’t differ at all in print. So, it’s confusing, how can they mean two different things? For the next edition of your book, you should probably mark somehow (with bold?) that the stress is different in the two.

You’re officially the first person to inform me that you’ve got the book!

I’m glad you’re enjoying it so far. If you’re ever in a really good mood about the book, would you mind clicking the “Write your own review” button in the side bar and putting some kind words on Amazon about it? According to my publisher, Amazon reviews (positive ones) are the real currency of online book selling…whatever that means.
