The Tuttle Concise Chinese Dictionary is designed primarily for English-speakers learning or using Chinese, but also caters to Chinese speakers learning or using English. The dictionary is divided into two distinct parts: Chinese-English, and English-Chinese with a total of 18,000 entries. The entries in both sections cover everyday words that are likely to be used in educational, cultural and tourist settings. The Chinese-English entries contain information on the part(s) of speech for the word under study, useful meanings, its common collocations and the roof form of the word - the last being a most useful feature to enable learners to seek wider meanings and more related derivatives of the word.The English-Chinese entries also show the parts of speech for each term, with their multiple meanings and useful collocations noted. Other useful information in this section include a guide to pronunciation (written to Chinese phonetics), phrasal verbs and idiomatic expressions. There are many sample sentences in both sections - they help the user comprehend how the headword is used in context.
