5.0 out of 5 stars Best Mandarin learning book, February 25, 2008

This review is from: Integrated Chinese: Level 1, Part 1 Simplified Character Edition (Textbook) (Paperback)

I started learning Mandarin with the Pimsleur series then moved to learning out of books and this is by far the best choice that I have seen so far. It gives clear explainations of grammar, you learn a lot of new vocabulary in each section and there are good dialoges in the beginning of every section. The vocabulary is up to date that includes words for even popular soda brands like Coke and Sprite. I yet to see a better Mandarin learning course.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Chinese Textbook I've Found, November 1, 2007

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chinese Review and Enhancement, May 1, 2009

This review is from: Integrated Chinese: Level 1, Part 1 Simplified Character Edition (Textbook) (Paperback)

After studying Chinese for over a year using pinyin, without learning to write Hanzi, I decided to start over with Integrated Chinese and learn to write Chinese characters. This book not only was a great review, but I was actually able to learn to write Hanzi quickly using this text. At the same time, audio related to the text has helped me learn to hear spoken Chinese much better. I am now working on Part 2, Level 1 which as a natural sequel. As in using any text, learning a language takes dedication and daily work.
