Do you really want to learn Chinese? Do classes terrify you and other coursebooks overwhelm you? Then 'Teach Yourself Beginner's Chinese' is for you!
Liz Scurfield and Song Lianyi have written a friendly introduction to Chinese that's easy right the way through. It's in two parts. The first teaches you the basic grammar you'll need, with lively dialogues, explanations and vocabulary. In the second you move on to practising what you've just learnt in a range of real-life situations.
'Beginner's Chinese' is ideal for you because everything is explained in simple English. There are also hints throughout to making learning Chinese easy, as well as lots of information about life in China. What you learn is useful right from the start, and all the words are listed in the back of the book. There's also a key to all activities, a glossary of grammar terms and special help on sounding Chinese.
It's never difficult or boring, so you'll be able to relax and enjoy your first taste of Chinese!
