Chinese for Everyone vol.1

This beginner's Chinese textbook was developed at the Language Centre in the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, primarily for adult English speakers. Its aim is to provide a simple and user-friendly way of learning Chinese, and this is achieved by:
Keeping grammar explanations to a minimal;
Defining simple rules to be followed;
Limiting the number of words and Chinese characters to be mastered; and
Providing interactive exercises to ensure active student participation.
