NOTE: This book doesn't teach Chinese characters and focuses on speaking only. Aimed at readers interested in learning practical Chinese for business, travel, or education. It is designed to be used as a stand-alone self-learning title, or as a textbook for use in the classroom. Includes: - Over 60 vibrant conversations applicable to everyday usage. - User-friendly layout with cultural and grammatical notes. - List of new words to help you build up your vocabulary. - Over 140 exercises with separate answer key. - An introduction to the Chinese writing system for those who wish to progress to a higher level. - Chinese-English word list and an index for quick reference. - An MP3 to help with pronunciation and listening comprehension.
If you only wish to learn spoken Chinese and don't want to learn Chinese characters, at least for the moment, this is the book you need! Focusing on conversation, the whole book uses the 'pinyin' transcription. Twenty pages will introduce the pronunciation of Chinese, and twenty units will then help you to learn Chinese quickly and easily (with many dialogues, patterns, words and expressions, exercises etc.). Key to exercises is given, along with an index, and an MP3 is provided with the book. This book is perfect for travellers, businessmen and self-learners.
