Learn Chinese with Good Books

Post by xinxu »

Everyone understands that a good textbook makes one's learning process efficient and effective. Learning Chinese is especially so as Chinese is a difficult language to learn. With the latest publications of "Essential Chinese 1500" and "Intermediate Chinese 1500", you now have a set of very good textbooks for your Chinese language study.

Both "Essential Chinese 1500" and "Intermediate Chinese 1500" are designed for speedy Chinese study or quick look-up. Each of the books contains the detailed teaching of 1500 Chinese sentences organized into hundreds of topics. The books can be used as self-study textbooks or quick reference manuals on topic based usage.

In the books, all the vocabularies appeared in each sentence are clearly described with: (1). Simplified Chinese; (2). Traditional Chinese; (3). Romanized format Pinyin - the Chinese pronunciation system; (4). the computer format Pinyin and, (5). the English translation of the word. Each sentence is presented with (1). Simplified Chinese; (2). Romanized format Pinyin and, (3). the English translation of the sentence.

The two books combined provide you 3000 conversational sentences covering hundreds of topics and scenarios. Such amount of sentences are not easy to acquire quickly by conventional teaching and self-reading. You may read ten or twenty books, but still don't learn this many sentences. You may take many years of training courses spending thousands of dollars but still only know a fraction of this amount.

The e-book and printed editions of both books are available for purchasing at http://www.lulu.com/xinxu. The e-book previews are free to download.
