5.0 out of 5 stars A well-rounded introduction, July 26, 1998

This review is from: Written Standard Chinese, Volume One: A Beginning Reading Text for Modern Chinese (Far Eastern Publications Series) (Paperback)

This book is a well-rounded introduction to the written side of the Chinese language. Both simplified and traditional characters are presented with stroke-order diagrams to help the beginner learn how to write properly. Romanization is also given in the standard PINYIN form. Each chapter focuses on a core selection of vocabulary and key grammar concepts. There are also dialogues and reviews at the end of each chapter. If you intend on learning just how to speak Chinese, this book is not for you; but, if you want to write properly, this book is a must-buy.
