About this title

Synopsis

If you are planning a visit or work in China and want to get around on your own, here is your guide to learning and using the Chinese language to manage the essentials of everyday life.

English speakers learn to converse in Chinese faster than they learn to read and write it. Success with Chinese's special teaching method coordinates Listen & Speaking and Reading & Writing separately, so that learners' conversation skills aren't slowed down by the pace of their character acquisition.

Each lesson will teach you how to get around independently in China, going far beyond "survival Chinese." With clear and concise explanations, Success with Chinese helps you build a solid foundation by using your daily experiences as practical opportunities for learning and mastering the basics of Chinese. Each lesson in the Listening & Speaking book ends with the most contemporary and relevant cultural material, such as Chinese dining etiquette, to steer you through unfamiliar situtations.
