Chinese Learning Book and Chat Tool I purchased a tool to have simple conversations for my trip to Taiwan and China. Purchased around 2010. Made by Poplar Publishing. The voice module is egg-shaped and about the size of a Tamagotchi. You can listen to Chinese phrases in order from the book by pressing buttons. It can be used during commutes, walks, or any short free time. The Chinese book also contains 105 short phrases that can be used for simple travel, arranged by genre. I think it's perfect for those going on a trip. It is unused. I inserted new batteries and confirmed that it works properly. Thank you.
