Welcome to this phrase book in 4 languages (Chinese, English, French and German) which let is discovers fluent words and expressions from our daily life. We are at the crossing of Asian and European civilizations which intermingle with each other. Each civilization shows its spirit according to its experience. A flow of ideas carries away the reader, awaking his perception. Funny, baffling, picturesque, echoing. A colour, a fragrance, a scent beyond the words gives them their own sensibility.

The hundred words chosen by the writer during his peregrinations and recollections are enriching our knowledge on our own vocabulary and the one of our neighbours - from here and abroad. We discover an unusual Anglo-Saxon world and the Far East is bringing its exotic touch. Each word may have a special resonance in the imaginary or in the reality.

After having studied in Bournemouth, England. Tubingen and Bochum, Germany, the French author discovers ethnology with the hill tribes of the Golden Triangle, Thailand. His passion for Asia leads him to study Asian languages and civlisations.
