Integrated Chinese is a well-paced introduction to the language that, while perhaps too advanced for high school students, is perfect for university students or adult learners. The lessons progress in an organized and logical fashion, and the book (whose Chinese title translates as "Chinese Listening Speaking Reading Writing") strikes a nice balance between these four areas of foreign language proficiency. My only criticism is that the photographs of Chinese text and environs are occasionally dated and the illustrations are quite ugly at times. Overall, an excellent college textbook!

I teach Chinese. This is the best Chinese text book I've found on the market. The text is difficult but it's excellent for serious students who want to learn how to read, write and speak Chinese. If you just want to pick up a few Chinese words, this book may not be suitable for you.

This book, compared to my last one, is much better. The cultural notes are up to date, the words and conversations are relevant to today's world, and everything-characters, pinyin, and english is easily accessible to the reader. I definitely would recommend it.

This series offers both teachers, tutors and students an excellent book for both classroom use and individual tutoring. The structure is for the serious Chinese student to work towards proficiency and will be difficult to study solely on your own. I think it is the best on the market currently. I would give the series 5 stars if there was a better way to work on certain sections more independently. An definite choice for your study library.

The book was in the advertised condition and was shipped promptly. This book is a good follow up for the the Part 1 book.

Quick delivery. Also, the status of the book was the exactly same as the description

I teach Mandarin Chinese at the Elem / Middle School levels. Although this series looks good, and was highly recommended by a fellow instructor, a college professor, the dialogs are geared more for adult learners putting them out of context for my student's learning level.

The shipment was really slow for this book. I bought the workbook for another company on the same day, and the work book arrived 3 days after i ordered it, but it took 2 weeks for the text book to arrive. The book came in awesome condition... but it would've been better if the book had arrived sooner.
