Learning Chinese is notoriously difficult and has long put off even the most linguistically
savvy Westerners ... until now. ShaoLan has used her entrepreneurial and software background to
unpick Chinese characters and create a simple system for quickly understanding the basic
building blocks of the written language. Working with renowned illustrator Noma Bar she has
developed a unique set of illustrations that are engaging and delightful and offer a glimpse
into the wonder of the Chinese language and culture.
