this is by far the best chinese text book i have encountered. i have been studying chinese in china for the past 2 years...so i have seen quite a few textbooks. my husband, who is fluent, has also been very impressed. each chapter is introduced first by a little story using the new vocabulary words and grammatical structures. then the book highlights gives many examples on the new grammactical structuring...all with great english explanations and enough examples to really understand how it works.

you don't even need to think twice about this one....go out and get it...you will be glad you did!!

This New Practical Chinese Reader series has been really good for me. It is a good blend of vocab, grammar and plenty of supplemental work if you can fit it in. I also got the CDs that go with the textbooks, but haven't found the workbooks to be that great. Between the textbook and the CDs, you should be busy enough!

I think this is a really good book to continue learning Chinese. Each unit contains two texts to start off, accompanied by vocabulary lists with the words translated into English and some Chinese examples as to how to use those words, the complicated expressions are also explained in English with more examples, the English grammar explanations are very clear, it contains many exercises and at the end of each unit you have another text which contains the vocabulary and grammar aspects studied throughout the unit.
