ABSTRACT
The Chinese language is a fascinating one. It is also tantalizing for those foreigners whose hours of study are limited. I had an excellent personal teacher, an old scholar who had taught many foreigners through the years; my problem was to find time for him. Some of the hospital staff had a fair knowledge of English; others knew only the simplest rudiments, and it became imperative that I learn to bridge the gap between these and myself. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315810461/4eab397c-1767-44f7-80e6-ab85f6baf550/content/fig63_B.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
