About this title

Review:

The approach, the contents, and the layout are almost perfect; my students of first year Chinese cannot believe that they are making such great progress. --Yu Feng, Professor of Chinese, Brandeis University

This new edition of Integrated Chinese is an outstanding achievement. Complete with interesting cultural notes, useful authentic materials, and a wealth of interactive exercises, the authors have outdone themselves AGAIN! --Dr. Zoe Wu, Chinese Language Program, Pasadena City College

Overall, we would rate Integrated Chinese as superior, innovative, and extremely versatile. We recommend it without hesitation as an invaluable core component of a Chinese language program at both the high school and college levels. --Lisa M.
