As a foreigner, I bought it a long time ago. If I learned this vocabulary, it is not because I wish to use it but because I want to understand when people are swearing…

Chinese is the fastest growing Foreign Language being taught in US schools. If you want to learn something- you should learn something useful, which you can put in work.
It just amazes me people pay to learn swear and slang words. I beleive this book is more insult to chinese culture and mandarin people. If i am really interested in learning the language, I would hire a certified Chinese translator to teach me the correct way of speaking Mandarin and certainly not start with curse words!

I am from Puerto Rico and I have to say I am impressed at the Chinese people’s ability to curse. It’ almost indistinguishable from our cursing on the island, especially when it comes to dragging someone’s mom into the fray…..

I think I’m right in saying that it’s rare to read for purely enjoyment purposes in China yes? This would explain the confusion over this.
