aafrophone Posted July 25, 2007 at 03:52 AM Report Posted July 25, 2007 at 03:52 AM are there any good books that you recommend for learning chinese? (i would prefer to learn traditional characters as opposed to simplified, but i'm not very picky) i borrowed a book "integrated chinese" (tao-chung yao, yuehua liu) and its... "ok" but i'd prefer to find other (better) books to learn from. your help is appreciated. Quote
G - Steven Posted July 25, 2007 at 12:04 PM Report Posted July 25, 2007 at 12:04 PM Hi aafrophone, Could you be more specific about what level of textbook you are looking for? I mean, are you a beginner, or have you gone past the basic order-a-drink&ask-for-directions stuff? Quote
aafrophone Posted July 25, 2007 at 06:42 PM Author Report Posted July 25, 2007 at 06:42 PM i mean beginner, b/c i don't think i'm learning well from this book. Quote
atitarev Posted July 25, 2007 at 11:40 PM Report Posted July 25, 2007 at 11:40 PM "Integrated Chinese" is a good textbook. I used New Practical Chinese Reader, not much different, I think. If you can't cope, join a Chinese class or get help from a tutor. Apart from textbooks, you need two-way dictionaries and learn how to use them to look up words and characters, you need audio for your textbooks. You can also ask things you don't understand on this forum or ask native speakers in your town. Quote
