Beschreibung
  • The most up-to-date and complete single-volume textbook and workbook for Mandarin learners
  • Intended for beginning students with no prior knowledge of the language
  • Incorporates conversations, grammar notes, exercises and readings—in Chinese characters as well as Romanized Pinyin for easy pronunciation
  • Native speaker audio and video recordings are provided for listening and speaking practice in different accents
Author's perspective of advantages of this textbook over competitive textbooks for Chinese:
  • Elementary Mandarin Chinese is designed for beginning learners in programs that move at a more relaxed, more comfortable pace—not intensive or semi-intensive programs where students have class each day and must do several hours of homework.
  • Each lesson is short and focuses on the highest frequency, most important language content and grammatical explanations, omitting less common words and nonessential grammatical details. This makes Chinese language learning more manageable.
  • The language presented is up-to-date, natural, and authentic.
  • There is an emphasis on practical and immediately useful language.
  • The textbook is convenient to use, with all 4 skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing) presented together in one volume.
  • It's also more convenient for instructors to use, since almost everything is in Chinese characters (as well as Pinyin and English).
  • The textbook and practice book are accompanied by many hours of audio and video files.
