The Basic and Intermediate Chinese textbook series are the most innovative and user-friendly Chinese language learning tools available today. The written version of Chinese varies a great deal from the spoken language. This basic truth of the Chinese language means that written and spoken Chinese can be taught, to a certain extent, separately—which is the premise of this series. This practical guide includes a broad range of drills and exercises designed to dramatically enhance your proficiency in reading and writing Chinese. While designed for use with the companion textbook, it can be used together with any Chinese textbook or teaching program to hone your Chinese reading and writing language skills.
