The Collins Chinese Dictionary is designed for learners of Chinese or English, from beginner up to university level. It is the ideal text for anyone who needs easy access to both a dictionary and a practical language supplement.

  • The Collins Chinese Dictionary offers extensive coverage of today's English and Chinese, with thousands of phrases and examples guiding the user to the most appropriate translation.

  • The clear layout ensures that users find the information they need quickly and easily.
