商品簡介
Due to the inherent difficulty of Chinese characters, native English speakers can learn spoken Chinese words much faster than they can learn to write them.
The Basic Chinese series guides you using separate but integrated "tracks" to help you master---efficiently---Chinese speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
Basic Chinese focuses on the challenges faced by English-speaking learners...learners like you!
"An ingenious introduction ... Basic Spoken Chinese is the finest textbook for learning Modern Standard Mandarin that I have ever encountered."---Dr. Victor H. Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature, University of Pennsylvania
"The ideal material for any committed learner embarking on the journey of learning the Chinese language."---Dr. Jun Yang, Senior Lecturer in Chinese, University of Chicago
"Revolutionary in its approach ... The dream of having engaged and fully-prepared students in every class is an easily reachable reality for any program that adopts this series."---Professor Cecilia Chang, Chair, Department of Asian Studies, Williams College
"This is one of the best elementary Chinese textbooks, I believe, ever produced in the history of teaching Chinese as a second language ... A great and unique work which will benefit students and teachers for many years to come."---Dr. Shengli Feng, Professor of Chinese Linguistics, Chinese University of Hong Kong
