Brave New Chinese Manifesto: Debuting revolutionary new phonetic Chinese scripts and input methods that will make Chinese much easier to learn Paperback – March 20, 2009

I began reading this book with a limited knowledge of languages. I had studied Mandarin part time for 18 months using Pinyin, dropping out in frustration. The first thing that struck me is the enthusiasm and passion of the writer for his belief in his inventions and how flawed is the system called Pinyin. I began to understand the concepts of how a language may be learnt and learnt amazingly quickly. Simon unlocked for me how one can absorb information and process it for practical application. I look forward to the next step.
