What an absolutely delightful little project. I loved doing this! The instructions are all in Chinese, there is quite small English manual but the text is incredibly small, so I used the Chinese version. No. I do not speak Chinese, I had to use the pictures only, and for the most part that was all that was needed. I used fake moss to finish this off and opted not to use the beads for berries on the tree top. I did also need to shave down some of the bark in places so parts would fit together a bit easier. But for the most part this was straight forward and parts fit together well.
