Hi all-

First, no, I am not a commissioned missionary. I'm a Christian writer in Canada who answers questions and offers info on faith when the situation arises.

To the point-- most of the Chinese language learning books at my bookstore are Learning Pinyin. Not Chinese characters or anything, just basic Pinyin.

My main goal is being able to read the Bible in Chinese and speak without sounding completely hopeless , haha. My understanding, and limited experience, said Pinyin was that way.

I know people from other cultures learned English from reading the Bible, and thought the reverse may apply.

See, no mystery involved (grin.)

thanks kindly.
