Part of the widely-used and highly acclaimed Kubler series, the Basic Chinese and Intermediate Chinese books provide separate but integrated "tracks" to help you learn to read, write and speak Chinese efficiently, at your own pace. Some students and teachers wish to emphasize speaking ability first, whereas others want to focus on learning to read and write Chinese at the same time. These Chinese language study books allow you the flexibility to learn the spoken language and the written language with the method that best fits your needs.
This carefully designed book and CD-ROM duo will:
- Teach you to use 288 high-frequency Chinese characters, and over 700 standard words written with them
- Have you quickly reading and writing related Chinese sentences
- Offer you the choice of learning both Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters; both are used throughout
- Feature a variety of fonts in both typeset and handwritten styles, to prepare you to use the Chinese language in many different contexts — from reading signs and newspapers, to computers and mobile phone texts
- Come with hours of native-speaker recordings and practice sheets, plus printable flash cards, on the enclosed CD-ROM
