Basic Chinese - Reading & Writing Textbook: An Introduction to Written Chinese for Beginners (6+ hours of Audio Included) - Softcover
Synopsis
A complete beginning-level course for written Chinese designed to teach you to read and write Chinese quickly and efficiently!
The Basic Chinese series offers a complete introductory course superior to any other language product for Chinese. These books teach spoken and written Chinese separately, allowing you to focus on the area most important to you, and to learn the spoken and written forms of Chinese at different speeds depending on your available time and interest.
The free audio recordings included with this book reinforce the content and make the learning process easy. Whether you're learning Chinese for work, travel or other reasons—the Basic Chinese approach of having two separate but integrated "tracks" helps you to learn the language more efficiently and more successfully.
Key features of this Chinese textbook and discs include:
- Learn to read and write the 288 highest-frequency characters and over 700 words
- Designed to have you reading and writing simple, connected Chinese sentences quickly
- Both simplified and traditional characters are taught; you may choose to learn either or both
- Features a variety of fonts and styles—typeset and handwritten—preparing you to use Chinese characters in different contexts, from reading signs to texting on your phone
This textbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the Basic Chinese—Reading & Writing Practice Book which provides a range of drills and exercises designed to enhance your proficiency in reading and writing Chinese quickly. This book is a new edition of Basic Written Chinese.
All media content is accessible on the Tuttle Publishing website.
